Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, SGiPadFlip2stand, is designed to create a stand for inserting an Apple iPad into the opening of a Samsung Flip2 55 Stand. The function is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 5.0.

Input Parameters

Algorithm Steps

  1. Retrieve the length parameter L using getfuncparams, with a default of 100 mm.
  2. Define constants: w (width) = 3 mm, H1 = 40 mm, H2 = 12 mm, and ol (offset length) = 0.1 mm.
  3. Create a base shape CPLA using PLsquare with dimensions [L, 61 + 2*ol].
  4. Subtract a circle with radius 8 mm from CPLA using CPLsubtract, aligning it at the bottom with an offset of -5 mm.
  5. Subtract another circle with radius 3 + slfit('c') from CPLA, aligning it at the top with an offset of -21 + 3 + slfit('c') - ol.
  6. Fill CPLA with a honeycomb pattern using CPLfillHoneycomb with parameters 5 and 3.5*5, then extrude it to create shape A with width w.
  7. Create a shape B using CPLradialEdges on a square with dimensions [L, H1 + H2 + w], with a radial edge of 2*w.
  8. Fill CPLB with a honeycomb pattern using CPLfillHoneycomb with parameters 3 and 3.5*3, then extrude it to create shape B with width w along the y-axis.
  9. Align B in front of A using SGtransrelSG, centering it and aligning the top with an offset of +H2.
  10. Create a copy C of B and position it behind A using SGtransrelSG, centering it and aligning the top with an offset of +H2.
  11. Concatenate shapes A, B, and C into a single shape SG using SGconcat.
  12. Plot the shapes using SGplotalpha with different colors for visualization.
  13. Export the final shape SG to an STL file using SGwriteSTL.
