# bend_extrude
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of `bend_extrude` is to replace `bend` when you have a 2D shape. `bend_extrude` is faster and doesn't produce jagged edges.
|
||||
|
||||
**Since 1.3**
|
||||
|
||||
## Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
- `size` : The size of a square which can contain the target shape.
|
||||
- `thickness` : The thinkness used to extrude the shape.
|
||||
- `angle` : The central angle of the arc shape. The radius of the arc is calculated automatically.
|
||||
- `frags` : Number of fragments. The target shape will be cut into `frags` fragments and recombined into an arc object. The default value is 24.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
The containing square of the target shape should be laid down on the x-y plane. For example.
|
||||
|
||||
include <bend_extrude.scad>;
|
||||
|
||||
x = 9.25;
|
||||
y = 9.55;
|
||||
|
||||
%square(size = [x, y]);
|
||||
text("A");
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Once you have the size of the containing square, you can use it as the `size` argument of the `bend_extrude` module.
|
||||
|
||||
include <bend.scad>;
|
||||
|
||||
x = 9.25;
|
||||
y = 9.55;
|
||||
z = 1;
|
||||
|
||||
*cube(size = [x, y, z]);
|
||||
|
||||
bend(size = [x, y, z], angle = 270)
|
||||
linear_extrude(z) text("A");
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The arc shape is smoother if the `frags` value is larger.
|
||||
|
||||
include <bend.scad>;
|
||||
|
||||
x = 9.25;
|
||||
y = 9.55;
|
||||
z = 1;
|
||||
|
||||
bend(size = [x, y, z], angle = 270, frags = 360)
|
||||
linear_extrude(z)
|
||||
text("A");
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This module is especially useful when you want to create things such as [Voronoi bracelet](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3650115).
