"""Interactive 3D viewer for Beckhoff 5-axis metal DED NC toolpaths.
Reads an NC file via the existing ``nc_parser`` (imported, never rewritten) and
renders a single self-contained, offline-capable HTML file with:
* a 3D toolpath view (rapid moves, per-layer weld paths),
* an A/B tilt-angle chart with welding-active shading,
* a statistics table,
* a layer-isolation dropdown.
Mouse controls are Plotly's built-in scatter3d defaults:
LEFT-DRAG rotate, SCROLL zoom, RIGHT-DRAG pan, HOVER tooltip.
Units: X/Y/Z in millimetres, A/B in degrees, path lengths in mm, time in
seconds (feed rate F = 800 mm/min).
Run:
python nc_viewer.py <path_to_nc_file>
Dependencies: plotly, numpy. ``nc_parser.py`` must sit in the same folder.
The output HTML embeds plotly.js from CDN (``include_plotlyjs="cdn"``).
