[feature-request] Functional representation or functional declarative design for generating print geometry without STL file #19

Open
@alvinccli

Description

@alvinccli

There are good tools to generate cellular structures procedurally using functional representation:
STL-Free Adaptive Slicing Scheme for Additive Manufacturing of Cellular Materials

And there are good tools to design multi-material structures using declarative statements and constructive solid geometry approach:
OpenVCAD: An open source volumetric multi-material geometry compiler
OpenVCAD toolbox

It will be a great addition to be able to connect with these tool or have an implementation in VAMToolbox because they get rid of the constraints imposed by your CAD software and STL file format.

Advantages such as: Multi-material supports, parametric design directly in python so that you don't need to hop back and forth between CAD and python via STLs.
