That's a very cool idea… like a CAM plotter? > I have make a test using BRepAlgoAPI_Cut function it works but it's so > looong that I fall asleep before the end. > > maybe a more fast solution will be : > - Convert shape to mesh > - use boolean operation on mesh > > but is it possible ?

Yes, from what I've understood, CAM software often uses highly optimized datastructures such a Voxels to display material removal in real time. So, perhaps an idea worth exploring? _______________________________________________ Pythonocc-users mailing list Pythonocc-users@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/pythonocc-users
