Method and System for Cutting Features From Sheet Materials With a Laser Cutter According to a Pattern

Locations in a pattern of a part are evaluated to determine if the locations are interior or exterior to a feature of the pattern. The pattern is used to cut the feature from a material by a laser cutting machine. A location in the feature is rendered into an array stored in a memory so that a value...

Zusammenfassung:	Locations in a pattern of a part are evaluated to determine if the locations are interior or exterior to a feature of the pattern. The pattern is used to cut the feature from a material by a laser cutting machine. A location in the feature is rendered into an array stored in a memory so that a value stored at an address in the array corresponding to coordinates of the location is either odd or even as determined by a counting process of the rendering. Then, the location is identified as being interior if the value is odd, and as being exterior if the value is even. The rendering can use modified forms of either rasterization or ray casting.
