Speed is auto-solved on Calculate so one program ≈ the target thickness, within Min–Max.

Path res (mm)

Point spacing along each pass — smaller = more points / smoother path, larger = faster.

Min is a hard floor: a repair pass slows exactly the waypoints that need it, then recovers speed elsewhere it can.

7 · Strategy

Best coveredFastest cycleLeast paint

Tight pitch, a 300 mm overrun so the gun turns around off the part, and graded passes into every inner corner. Outer corners need none — the overrun already sweeps over them.

8 · Advanced Constraints

Collision Avoidance

Keeps the gun body (nozzle length) clear of the part; flags risk when part depth exceeds standoff.

Respect Robot Limitscoming soon

Avoid Repainting Same Area

A waypoint whose whole footprint is already satisfied by other passes runs at max speed instead of laying an unneeded extra coat.

Max passes / cell

A vertex touched by more distinct passes than this (above the noise floor) counts as repainted in the result below — a measurement either way, not gated by the toggle above.

Adaptive Mesh Refinement

Edge Compensation

Banding/edging passes + trigger-in-motion to avoid edge build-up & corner thinning (see spray-coating-techniques skill).

Priority Coating Zones

Extra coverage on edges, welds, fasteners & inside corners via a stripe coat (see spray-coating-techniques skill).

Max Travel Speed (mm/s)

Rapid speed for non-spraying transit moves (start→surface, surface→surface). Adds to the cycle time, not to paint used.

9 · Geometry Features

Detect holes & taps

Found from real mesh topology (which edges are concave/convex, which loops are inner boundaries) — not a curvature guess, so it also catches non-round bosses and holes.

Deny hole below (mm)

Ignore tap below (mm)

Tap tilt (°)

A hole under the deny diameter is skipped even if its bore wall is selected — the raster sweeps across it, trigger on. A hole at or above it gets its own perpendicular rim pass. A tap above the ignore height leans nearby raster waypoints toward it, since a perpendicular gun over a boss can't reach the boss's own sidewalls at all.

Following a long tap's flanks and orbiting rings around a wide one aren't built yet — a tap only ever gets the tilt above, however large.
