Flatterer is a superb add-on if you must create designs for laser slicing. It turns a 3D mannequin in Blender right into a set of shapes appropriate for laser slicing. It’s aimed toward simply exporting bins, enclosures, and different made-for-laser-cutting designs to SVG.
On this week’s replace, Sybren added the next new options that’ll make your life a little bit simpler:
- Extrude Finger: simply create finger connections between laser-cut components. Choose some edges and click on Extrude Fingers to extrude them in simply the correct path, utilizing the fabric thickness.
- Separate Mesh into Faces: cut up up the mesh into separate objects for both sides.
- Align to Native Axis: rotate the mesh to align it with the item’s native axes, then counter-rotate the item in order that every thing stays in place.
Now I am going to simply should discover a challenge to use this to after which run to my native Fablab to begin slicing 🙂
