Welcome to our CT4AM wiki!

The project is dedicated to data analysis in an additive manufacturing context.
For now, the following tools are available:

• GCode2vtk
• GCode2GCode
• GCode2ShuffledGCode
• GCodePoreCorrelation

• GCodeCTCorrelation

• CT2Surface

• SimpleCurvature

All tools are available in source code and as static linked windows x64 executables. This enables you to try them out without installation or building anything.

Tools

Name	Description
[GCode2vtk]	convert GCode to .vtk file viewable in Paraview
[GCode2GCode]	convert GCodes between FFF and LPBF
[GCode2ShuffledGCode]	convert GCode from FFF to LPBF and shuffle print order (from Cura FFF only)
[GCodePoreCorrelation]	analyse defect information from MorphoLibJ with respect to toolpath data
[GCodeCTCorrelation]	analyse defect information by slicing µCT image along layers (ITK based) with respect to toolpath data
[CT2Surface]	analyze additively manufactured surfaces with respect to CAD (.stl) data
[SimpleCurvature]	calculate surface curvature (Kappa1, Kappa2, Mean, Gaussian) from µCT images
...	more to come!

Libraries

Most functions are provided by this libraries, which can be used and adjusted for a multitude of purposes.

Name	Description
[GCodeLib]	various functions for working with toolpath data
HelperLib	various functions that didn't fit elsewhere
