Hi Akudless and Johannes,
I'm trying to build a project in grasshopper where i'm using a circular saw table to etch a picture made of segment lines according to cut depths on a thick wooden sheet attached on the robot as end effector.
it's based on changing coordinate systems of the cutting planes with translations and rotation matrices, the main blocks are written in C# applied to Rhino geometries methods, i'm not that expert in grasshopper, but the simulations apparently seem confirming the code.
I think it's a matter of what you need to process and the related transformation maths, probably it's easier to implement just using grasshopper blocks for experienced users.
I haven't tried it yet on a real robot, but I hope to do it soon, my only concerns are about some functions for choosing a proper sheet orientation.
I'm gonna share updates as soon as I try ;)
stay tuned
regards,
Gianmarco
