Parametric Slicer
3dartbox
in Modeling
Does it change my original model?
No. It reads the source and builds the planks as new objects in their own collection. Hide Source and Show Source only hide or show the original.
Can I use the planks for laser cutting or CNC?
The planks are ordinary mesh objects at the thickness you set, so you can export them like any other mesh. The add-on doesn't make SVG or DXF files or lay the planks out flat on a sheet.
How do I slice at an angle?
Switch on Custom and pick a Helper object; an empty works best. The planks follow its local Z axis, so rotating the helper turns the slices.
Can a rod stop where the model is empty?
Yes. Set Rod Span to Inside Only and each rod stops where it leaves the model and starts again where it comes back in, with its own overhang and end pieces.
Why are the Bevel step and the UV tab missing?
A Draft preview is on screen, and a draft never reads the finishing settings. Switch Output to Full.
Will it slow Blender down on a heavy model?
The preview rebuilds as you work. Leave it on Draft, lower Preview Limit, or switch Live preview off and just Slice. Slice builds a few parts at a time, and Esc stops it.
Does it need an internet connection or other add-ons?
No. It uses only what comes with Blender.
Does it work on macOS and Linux?
It's written in Python with nothing tied to one system, but it has only been tested on Windows.
Can I use Blender's own panels instead of the card?
Yes. In Settings, under Interface, choose Classic panel. A button at the top of the first panel brings the card back.
