Downskin

Generates downskin contours based on the geometric difference between contours across one or more layers

Parameter Default value Description
angle Specifies the angle of the surfaces which are considered downskin.
shrinkage 0.4 A filtering parameter that removes artifacts from the downskin detection. Downskin regions thinner than this setting (in mm) are not considered.
expansion 0.6 Downskin areas are expanded by a certain value in order to overlap neighboring layers. This value should be larger than the shrinkage.
thickness 1 Determines the range across which the angle is measured. Has an averaging effect.

XML configuration example code:

<downskin name="my_downskin" entry="sphere" angle="40" thickness="1" />
