Simulate thermal accumulation strategies for laser etching to minimize peak material stress.
← Back to Laser ExperimentsA space-filling curve that visits every point in a continuous "wiggle".
Superior locality preservation. Avoids long linear fronts and preserves structural integrity.Processes main diagonal, then LL sweep, then UR corner inward.
Rationale: Hardware default (e.g. xTool). Path is mathematically fixed and repeatable.Baseline wave approach. Creates a moving thermal front.
Calculated based on coordinate distance. Fixed result.Jumps between zones with randomized cell fills.
Reduces repeatable warping by shuffling processing order within quadrants.Baseline linear pathing. High thermal overlap.
Pathing is strictly sequential and fixed.Uses Bayer scattering to jump between non-adjacent cells.
The macro-strategy is fixed, but micro-pathing contains shuffling to avoid resonance.
