As of now, designing lasercut models with OpenSCAD is clunky and rather painful. You are either forced to work in 2D without a 3D preview, or you are forced to work with predefined shapes. So here's laserscad, a library which makes lasercutting with OpenSCAD much, much easier. Key features: * Laser whichever shape you want * Model in 3D, then run one command to generate a 2D lasercutting template with all parts * Save time, because 2D parts are arranged automatically * Add engravings to identify parts (or to make things look fancy) The code, a tutorial, rich documentation, etc. can be found here: https://github.com/mbugert/laserscad <https://github.com/mbugert/laserscad> Here is a bigger project I realized with laserscad: https://github.com/mbugert/volca-case <https://github.com/mbugert/volca-case> Feedback and/or bug reports are always welcome. -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/
