Free Parts and Tapered Free Parts
We want here make clear what we mean by Free Parts and Tapered Free Parts
Free Parts
Free Parts are object built extruding a Region along the Z
axe.
In this way both faces/sides of the Part are identical. This is the simplest
object you can cut using devFoam, as no Synchro points are required.
You can find here an example of a Free Part:
Tapered Free Parts Pro version only
Tapered Free Parts are object built using different
faces/sides.
This is more difficoult to manage, as often is required to add Synchro Points.
Synchro Points are a list of coupled points on the contour (one for each face)
that will be used to keep the hot wire movement synchronized. Each couple will
be touched by the hot wire at the same time. They can be defined by the user or
automatically generated by DevFoam Pro.
You can find here an example of a Tapered Free Part:
See 'Create and Cut Tapered parts' if you want to work with Tapered shapes
