Struct LayerModel 

pub struct LayerModel {
    pub layer_thickness: f64,
    pub hatch_spacing: f64,
    pub spot_radius: f64,
    pub scan_speed: f64,
    pub laser_power: f64,
    pub scan_strategy: ScanStrategy,
}

Geometric parameters for a single AM layer.

Fields

layer_thickness: f64

Layer thickness (m).

hatch_spacing: f64

Hatch spacing between adjacent scan tracks (m).

spot_radius: f64

Nominal laser spot radius (m).

scan_speed: f64

Scan speed (m/s).

laser_power: f64

Laser power (W).

scan_strategy: ScanStrategy

Scanning strategy applied to this layer.

Implementations

impl LayerModel

pub fn new( layer_thickness: f64, hatch_spacing: f64, spot_radius: f64, scan_speed: f64, laser_power: f64, scan_strategy: ScanStrategy, ) -> Self

Construct a new LayerModel.

pub fn volumetric_energy_density(&self) -> f64

Volumetric energy density (J/m³), often written as E_v.

E_v = P / (v · h · t)

where P = power, v = scan speed, h = hatch spacing, t = layer thickness.

pub fn linear_energy_density(&self) -> f64

Linear energy density (J/m) — power divided by scan speed.

pub fn hatch_overlap(&self) -> f64

Hatch overlap fraction (0–1). Positive means tracks overlap.

overlap = 1 − hatch_spacing / (2 · spot_radius)

pub fn num_tracks(&self, width: f64) -> usize

Approximate number of scan tracks required to cover a square domain of side width (m).
