Project Description

In 2020, I initiated “plycutter,” an open-source hobby project. It’s a geometric heuristic program I conceived to transform 3D STL models into laser-cuttable 2D pieces with finger-jointed connections. I created the idea, algorithm, and the entire program from scratch. While developing plycutter, I encountered numerical instability issues in existing Python 2D geometry libraries, prompting me to develop my own custom 2D geometry library, which became an integral part of the plycutter project.
