*PDWL: Perimeter-based additional DWelL time

Repeated additional dwell for machining for hybrid LPBF processes

*PDWL

i1, i2, r1, r2

i1: i*4: layer number index to start dwells

i2: i*4: layer number index to stop dwells

r1: r*4: dwell time to add, in seconds. In hybrid manufacturing, r1 should be the spindle time

r2: r*4: side surface dwell time multiplier. In hybrid manufacturing, r2 should be 1/v, where v is the spindle moving speed during milling

This card can be used for a repeated additional dwell for machining for hybrid LPBF processes. In hybrid LPBF, the additional dwell time for machining is modeled as a constant dwell r1 plus an additional dwell proportional to the perimeter of the layer contour. If machining only occurs once every n layers, the parameters r1 and r2 should be divided by n.

The total dwell time from *PDWL is r1 + r2 * perimeter.
