Description

  • This component reads the user’s modeled curves and converts them into hot wire tool paths.


Input

  • CurveA [Curve] : Connects the first Curve.
  • CurveB [Curve] : Connects the second Curve.
  • Target Count [Number / Optional]: Determines the number of hot wire paths.
  • Parameter [List / Optional] : Determines the origin positions of the targets on the Ribcurve.
  • Wrist Object [Geometry / Optional] : Allows redefining the normal direction of the hot wire path through input values such as point, curve, or line.

Built-in Param | Hotwire Crvs

  • Cutting Direction Flip : Reverses the direction of the hot wire cutting path.
  • Tool Flip : Rotates the 6th axis, where the hot wire tool (end effector) is mounted, by 180 degrees in the direction of movement.
  • Extension(mm) : Determines the distance of the straight path just before entry and exit of the hot wire.
  • Shift Seam : Redefines the order of the hot wire cutting sequence on the read planes.

Built-in Param | Extra

  • NormalSize : Determines the display size of the normal (Z-axis, normal vector).


Output

  • Target Planes : Outputs the hot wire cutting tool paths defined according to the input conditions.
  • RibCurves : The unit segments of the Ruled Surface that determine the hot wire path.
