Grouping Parallel Filling Scan Path Generating Algorithm of Metal Laser Deposition Shaping

Abstract:

Those ultimate reasons of over-cladding and under-cladding are indicated through analyzing between the existing parallel scan mode and the characteristic of metal laser deposition shaping. A kind of scan path generating algorithm is presented based on only parallel filling scan, firstly, increasing scan line based on recognizing characteristic points is adopted which generate the scan filling line according to the set scan space; then, scan path is generated through grouping and optimizing to connect filling lines based on judging the distance of between the end point of last vector and the start point of next vector. Practical application shows that the scan path can effectively enhance the flatness of shaping layer and the fabrication quality, ensure to shape successfully.
