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 […]
