• Submission Name: Increasing Hatch Spacing in Alterating Layers

Build & Run Instructions

The following instructions should get you up and running:

1. Build and run the Dockerfile via docker build -t osu_cdme:latest -m 2GB .
2. Run the Dockerfile via docker run -it osu_cdme
3. Get this directory into the container. Options include docker cp and git clone.
4. Build the source code by running build.bat
5. Execute layer/scan generation for the build plate by running run_Build_Plate.bat and for the NIST Plate by running run_NIST.bat
6. You can then find the output .scn file in the location specified in the respective config file.

Scanpath Overview

Alternating hatch spacing between each layer, meaning first layer will use spacing size in configuration file and next layer will use increase it by a defined percentage, and repeat the pattern.

Excel File Changes

A ninth tab titled 9.CustomParameters (mind the spaces) must be added, and Cell C2 must contain a numerical value for the hatch space size increase by percentage between alternating layers. This is read in as a double, so decimals are allowed.
