Offset Filter Reference

An offset filter is used to achieve beam compensation on the closed geometry of a slice. A single slice stack is given as the input. It is assumed that the input slice stack has no self-intersections. All resulting slices consist of closed contours, but the filter discards all hatches contained in the input.

Parameter	Default Value	Description
value	Mandatory	Specifies the beam compensation radius. Positive values are offsets to the inside, negative values are offsets to the outside.
seam	Original	Redefines the seam of the resulting contour to either: original: the seam is at the nearest point of the seam of the input data. randomized: the seam is randomly distributed on the output data contours.
