Parameters

Stack Direction
Direction of progressive material deposition layers. Options are "X", "Y", and "Z" indicating the global xg-, yg-, or zg-direction.
Bead Height and Bead Width
Height, L 2 , (measured parallel to the stack direction) and width, L 3 , of the deposited bead of material.
Activation Offset
