hi all
I am working on a manufacturability evaluation software for metal casting process. I am working with voxelized 3D geometry and am trying to figure out the thickness variation in the geometry.
My problem is I have a definite way of doing this for a prizmatic part, but my algo fails for shell like or thin parts. I was wondering if anybody has worked on something like this or knows some way to do it.
Also if you know of alternate method of finding thickness variation please guide me
