I run a workshop manufacturing parts with 3x P1S and 1x A1 mini.
I also use a Laser cutter for mould making and support structures.
I use a software from 2013 that is no longer availible, 123D Make.
The reason i still use it is because i can import 3D models and slice them and then turn them with a button into flat cut out slices and it shows me the sheet (which size i can set) and it can also Number the slices which will be laser engraved if i want to so i know in which order to assemble it.
If you wonder why or for what purpose, this is really really great for mould making.
You can set the number of slices horizontally and vertically and the thickness of the material and offset. Slice direction etc etc
There really isn’t any software that i know that can do it.
I tried BambuSuite and i did not see any option to import an STL, STP or OBJ and to slice it for the laser cutter.
Please bambu this is a very very important feature and will open the possibilities to the next level.
This is what a 3D object sliced for a laser cutter (wood or cardboard) looks like:
It also supports papercraft (hollow 3D models that are folded from thick craft paper, interlocked and radial mode.
Where you can set the vertex count of the folded paper blueprint:
This is what Papercraft looks like:
3D to laser cut paper into a papercraft blueprint with fold direction on the digital plan would open Bambu the world of papercraft!!
I still use this 123D app that is not longer availible and supported from 2013 because there is no alternative.
I really HOPE bambu reads this, this needs to be in the BambuSuite!! Very Very important!
