Transformation Chain
Input
- STL
- STEP
Slicing output
- lines
- arcs
- b-splines
Options
- approximate everything with lines (gcode)
- approximate everything with bezier splines
Adding velocity profile
- trapezoidal
- s-curve
- higher order
Transform into target kinematics
- cartesian
- corexy
- delta
- polar
Options
- transform mathematically
- quantize into oversampled steps before transformation and translate only points Oversampling may depend on the target kinematics and must be high enough that after transformation the resolution still exceeds the microstepping resolution
Generate per-axis motion data
- either mathematically
- or step data
Transfer per-axis motion data
- transfer mathematically
- transfer ((lossily) compressed) step data
Generate steps
Potential Solutions
Most complex solution: Transport mathematically correct data up to the fpga
- transformations for lines, arcs and splines needed into target kinematics
- projections into single axis and combination with velocity profiles for each transformation needed
- fpga needs to know all projected profiles
Intermediate solution: Approximate at or after slicing and transport mathematically
- only one motion (lines or splines) need to be translated into all target kinematics
- fpga need to know one profile for each kinematics
Simplest solution: Approximate at or after slicing
- only points need to be translated to target kinematics
- computationally intensive because each point needs to be translated individually, plus needed oversampling for some kinematics
- steps need to be compressed for transmission. If the compression is lossy, it degrades the precision slightly
