Dear Anders, thanks for explanations. > (a) interpreter ...
In my special case this is not a problem. I'm working on a tool path generation algorithm, the output will be a dense list of tool positions that I could directly use for the simulation. So I don't need g-code interpretation, actually I need the other way round. > (b) stock model ... Using octree representation of a distance field seams to be a straightforward approach. Storing the actual intersection data sounds like a idea cool, though, but to complex for me. > (c) surface extraction ... > (d) rendering interface ... Phu... I guess I have to learn some OpenGL. And I wanted to look at OpenCL for tool path generation, single precision floating points would will most probably be sufficient for tool path generation, I guess. Did you think about using the GPU to do the calculations for the simulation? > As usual I have a lot of pdf papers about these things if anyone wants > to read! :) I do. :-) Thanks a lot. > I am a bit busy now in May but if there is interest, esp. wrt. emc2 > interpreter and opengl/rendering on emc2-distro or even AXIS, then it > would be great to get something going in June or so. I'm working on a PhD related to tool path generation. So maybe some of this work might also be of interest to the emc2 community. For now I'll try to set up a build environment for your libraries. I'm on Windows 7 (64 bit) most of the time. Would you suggest to switch to Ubuntu? I would probably be easier to set-up reverting to compile your libraries, right?
