Software company Machine Works announced the availability of a new technology demonstration showing how to create multi-axis additive toolpaths using Polygonica.

In Polygonica, a PT Profile represents a planar polyline boundary of a 2D slice. A PT Curve is a 3D polycurve which can have multiple loops in 3D space, each of which can either be closed or open.(Source:  Machine Works)

The new demonstration code available in Polygonica focuses on creating toolpaths specifically for additive repair operations. The examples use the software’s Boolean engine to identify volumes of worn regions, and its 3D curve and imprint curve operations to create intersect and surface offset curves aimed at multi-axis robot and hybrid infill. Polygonica’s fast solid offset is used to create offset surfaces for successive layers.

The demonstration also shows how the Machine Works SDK can be used to create a geometric model of the new material created during the additive process, which can be further analysed within the solution or exported back to Polygonica for downstream processing.
