Parameters

Stack Direction: Direction of progressive material deposition layers. Options are "X", "Y", and "Z" indicating the global x_g-, y_g-, or z_g-direction.
Bead Height: Height (measured parallel to the stack direction) of the deposited bead of material.
Activation Offset: Unused. Should be set to zero.
Deposition Position: Set to "Above", "Middle", or "Below" to indicate that the deposited material bead is situated above, through, or below the path in the stack direction.
