Parameter Table Type Definition

PARAMETER TABLE TYPE, NAME="ABQ_AM_BladeInterference", PARAMETERS=2
FLOAT, , "Powder Thickness", , ,
FLOAT, , "Risk Factor", , ,

Parameters

Powder Thickness
Thickness of the powder layer. If the value is zero, the thickness comes from the toolpath-mesh intersection module; otherwise, this value is used.
Risk Factor
Risk factor representing the powder blade flexibility. A value of zero indicates that the blade cannot move above the powder layer thickness. A value of one indicates that the blade can move up a distance equal to the powder layer thickness.
