3.2 CAxLib

Introduction

CAxLib is a C++ library with an API to load, process, and save annotated tessellations. Its intended use is to support the development of process planning tools, specifically within, but not limited to, CAxMan’s workflows. It comes in the form of a toolkit which includes:

1) A library with C++ API to develop Process Planning software for Additive Manufacturing

2) A set of pre-implemented tools for the traditional operations along the Process Planning pipeline.

CAxLib is a C++ toolkit which includes:

  1. A library with C++ API to develop Process Planning software for Additive Manufacturing
  2. A set of pre-implemented tools for the traditional operations along the Process Planning pipeline

Package contents: CAxLib/ Contains the library source code. It is a header library that must be simply included in downstream tools.

Tools/ Contains source code for Process Planning tools that may depend either on CAxLib or on other libraries. Specifically, the following subfolders are included: CAxLib_Tools/ -> Contains tools that depend on CAxLib ImatiSTL_Tools -> Contains tools that depend on ImatiSTL (see below) CGAL_Tools -> Contains tools that depend on CGAL (see below)

Samples/ Contains a sample model to be used for experimentation.

External dependencies ImatiSTL_Tools can be compiled only after having downloaded and compiled ImatiSTL. Version 4.2-2 or higher is required. ImatiSTL can be downloaded at https://sourceforge.net/projects/imatistl/

CGAL_Tools can be compiled and executed only after having downloaded and installed CGAL. Version 4.7 or higher required. CGAL can be downloaded at https://www.cgal.org/download.html

CAxLib_Tools can be compiled and executed only after having downloaded and installed Zlib Version 1.2.11 (https://zlib.net), TinyXML2 (http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxml2/) and LibZIP Version 1.4.0 (https://libzip.org). Additionally, the mesh2vtu tool depends from VTK (https://www.vtk.org), and the tetrahedralize tool depends on Tetgen (http://wias-berlin.de/software/tetgen/).
