This is a custom slicer for use with a custom SLS/M Powder Bed 3D Printer for printing square specimens.
The primary feature of the slicer is the ability to vary line spacing (Overlap) and scan speed within a single layer.
The Slicer uses an interlaced path to mitigate thermal warpage due to poor bed adhesion or absent bed adhesion.
The Slicer is parameterized for a layout as follows in the figure below, only the squares_max_x and squares_min_y need be modified for different print bed layouts.
