6.1.2.3.2. Stripes

  Alternating: If enabled, the vectors alternate in their exposure direction.

Shift Factor: A factor defining how frequently the total hatch pattern is translated in the Y-direction. A translation does not take place after every layer. A value of three means, for example, that the hatch pattern returns to the original position after three layers. The hatch pattern was therefore translated two times. After two translations, the hatch pattern is congruent with the original hatch pattern. After the fourth layer, it is then translated for a second time.

  Merge: If enabled, vectors with a defined length are grouped together.

  • Merge Length: The length from which the hatches are grouped together. Hatch vectors that are shorter than the defined value are merger with another hatch vector.

Filter Length: The minimum length of the hatches. Hatches that are smaller than the defined value are not exposed.

Stripe Offset: The distance between the end of a vector and the start of the connecting vector.

Stripe Length: The length of the vectors within the strip pattern.

Hatch Distance: The distance between the hatches.

Hatch Offset: The distance between the innermost border and the outermost hatch.
