Tab page Hatches
Contains all function parameters of Generate hatches for the generation of paths for the contour
filling.
The function Calculate build costs uses the defined parameters immediately for the estimation of
hatching, if hatching has not been calculated previously.
There are three different basic types available for the generation of hatches. They can be
adjusted by several different parameters and combined as desired.
• Hatching for the inner hatch describes the standard type of hatching for filling the
material surface between the inner and outer contours.
• Hatching for the skin fill can be used to fill overhang and overlap areas different from the
inner hatch.
• Hatching generated by border offset (2D-offset) runs parallel to the contour outlines by a
defined distance.
