Motivation: Imagine creating a node-liked pattern by simply using wait_time to allow the nozzle to pause a bit at the waypoint.


Challenge: The waypoints have to be under control with a certain spacing and logical location. While, currently, the waypoint location is referred to and produced by the location of the mesh faces, which is not evenly distributed and random from a design perspective.

Strategy: The function path_smooth(slicer, smooth_distance) re-creates the proximate path contour based on the original points, then divides the contour by smooth_distance as length.

Dependency: Since compas.geometry.NurbsCurve() is not working well for us, compas_occ.geometry.OCCNurbsCurve() is being used.


Outlook: It is a simple function, but rationalize waypoint distribution could be the next potential update for compas_slicer.
