Abstract

An EBM variable-direction formation dynamic slicing method in cooperation with an 840D digital control system includes: creating a vertex array object, adjusting a projection matrix to a slice height, outputting a binary image of a two-dimensional cross-section; obtaining, by means of two-dimensional contour extraction, data of a contour line from the binary image, outputting coordinates of a closed contour, and connecting all adjacent coordinates into a straight line to form a closed curve; when a triangle tolerance is 1, dividing contour data into a straight line part and a curve part by taking a starting point of small straight lines with an angle of 140° therebetween as a dividing point, removing adjacent points, repeated points and internal points of a same straight line, and performing segmentation fitting on curve parts of the slice data, and then performing dynamic slicing through the 840D numerical control system.
