obtaining all intersection points of one contour line and the scanning line according to the principle; traversing all contour lines, and respectively calculating intersection points to obtain a complete intersection point matrix;
sequencing all the obtained intersection points according to the size of an X coordinate, wherein the sequenced intersection points comprise the corresponding relation between the intersection points, and every two adjacent intersection points form a group to form a short filling line segment; connecting the filling line segments; and finally, layered turning scanning: the included angle of the scanning directions of two adjacent layers is set to be 90 degrees, and the scanning layers in the same direction are alternately carried out, so that layered turning filling is realized.
