I’m working on a panel which will have laser cut punctures. The fabrication shop is saying that the gaps between the squares should not exceed 1.2 millimeters otherwise the material will be burnt in those areas.
How can I measure the gaps between all the squares?
I want to see the list of maximum and minimum gap between the edges of the squares, for the entire panel, and eventually sort them into horizontal and vertical distances. I have the idea that the gaps will be measured between 0th and 2nd edges for vertical , 1st and 3rd for horizontal, but not able to proceed further.
Instead of trying to check and correct the data after creating your design, perhaps it’s possible to include the minimum distance between the squares as an input parameter instead?
That’s what I would do too. Use the inputs to your Domain.
You’ve got your size and can calculate the minimum scale factor to get the smallest distance.
on the same way you can controll the minimum size of your output too - thats important for the laser as well.
For example if your size is 100 and your minimum distance is 10, you need a maximum of 95. The result depends on the distance of your center point.
