![]() ![]() Similar to what Sketchup does with copied objects until you tell it to “make unique”.Įxport faces to 2d file: For laser cutting, designing in 3D helps to visualize the material thickness as you work with angles and notches and spatial relationships to get all the design right, but then you need to get all those pieces back to a 2D format to feed to the laser cutter. Instances of a master object: Continuing with the fins in #2, could all the copies retain a connection to the original, so when you edit the original, all the copies update too. For designing quickly and iterating, it would be very helpful to automate that so you can specify number of copies and how many degrees to rotate per copy, and/or how many mm to translate per copy along a given axis. ![]() This basically the 3D equivalent of the “make blend” function in Illustrator.Ĭopy and translate/rotate: In this Shapr3D tutorial video “creating the fins - electric motor” it shows creating one fin, then manually copying, rotating, copying, rotating. Then select both and ask Shapr3D to interpolate additional copies, specifying how many copies (steps of interpolation). Interpolate x copies: Make an object, then copy it and make limited modifications to the copy (stretch it, move some vertices, etc). Would love to know which of these are possible now or on your near-term roadmap: I’ve watched a bunch of videos and scoured forums, but am not an active user yet so please forgive any ignorance. A few questions on features that would make Shapr3D great for designing for laser cutting pieces that will be assembled into 3d objects.
