Provide tab/space functionality for laser cutting plywood etc

Open dynamodan opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

I don't think it would be too difficult to modify the tabbing behaviour to place a square tab (or series of them) instead of the paper tabs, and alternated tabs on the other part to make "snap together" plywood panels. These would then be cut on a laser cutter or CNC machine. I already use BlenderCAM for machining on a CNC router. Excellent work, BTW!!

I answered my own question: it's not too difficult. I added some new functions in a fork, here: https://github.com/dynamodan/Export-Paper-Model-from-Blender

I am still curious if anyone else has tried to do something like this. I know there are some other forks but not sure if they address this particular topic.
