`ElectroImpactExtruder`	Represents the custom extruder on the ElectroImpact AFP/LFAM machine.

Module Contents¶

class gcode_reader.emulate.machines.electroimpact.ElectroImpact(**options)[source]¶

Bases: gcode_reader.emulate.machine.Machine

Represents the ElectroImpact AFP machine configured for large-scale additive manufacturing.

Handles ElectroImpact-specific M-codes:: M9: Pellet head on. S code is layer number. M301: Enable extruder lanes. S code specifies lane count (1-4). M38: Load part offsets. M22: Load head offsets.

Initializes a new Machine instance.

Parameters:

tools (Tuple[Tool, ...], optional) – A tuple of Tool instances for the machine to use. Defaults to None.
parser (GcodeParser, optional) – An instance of a GcodeParser. Defaults to a new GcodeParser().
exporter (GcodeExporter, optional) – An instance of a GcodeExporter. Defaults to a new GcodeExporter().
**options – Keyword arguments passed to the constructor of the machine’s MachineOptions type.

gcode_file_to_operation(filepath: str, operation_type=AdditiveOperation)[source]¶

Parses a G-code file and returns a processed Operation.

This method uses the machine’s configured parser to read a G-code file into a list of commands, wraps them in the specified operation_type, and then processes the operation to populate its process data.

Parameters:

filepath (str) – The path to the G-code file.
operation_type (type, optional) – The class of Operation to create (e.g., Operation, AdditiveOperation). Defaults to Operation.

Returns:

A new, processed Operation instance.

Return type:

Operation

Raises:

ValueError – If operation_type is not a valid subclass of Operation.

options¶

class gcode_reader.emulate.machines.electroimpact.ElectroImpactExtruder(options=None)[source]¶

Bases: gcode_reader.emulate.extruders.Extruder

Represents the custom extruder on the ElectroImpact AFP/LFAM machine.

Deposited volume is computed from the bead cross-sectional area (J parameter, stored as extrusion_rate) and the change in cumulative extrusion distance (K parameter, stored in command.settings[“extrusion_length”]).

on¶

Whether the extruder head is active.

Type:: bool

last_extrusion_distance¶

Cumulative extrusion distance at the last processed command, used to compute delta per move.

Type:: float

Initializes a new Extruder instance.

Parameters:: options (MachineOptions) – Configuration settings for the machine and this tool.

process_command(command, process_data: gcode_reader.emulate.operations.AdditiveProcessData)[source]¶

Processes a command to update the extruder’s state.

If the command is an commands.Extrude command, this method dispatches to the appropriate _calc_* method to update the tool’s state based on the extrusion model implemented by the subclass.

Parameters:

command (Command) – The command to process.
process_data (AdditiveProcessData) – The data object to populate with post-processing information.

Returns:

The updated AdditiveProcessData object.
