Smudger Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 Does anyone know of a program that can turn a 3d object and put it into slices so it can be put together after cutting it out, like the one in the picture OCtoolguy 1 Quote
Harry Barton Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 I presume it could be done with a CAD program with 3d capability, by drawing the object and then taking sections at intervals from back to front (or side to side) and exporting them as 2d drawings. I haven't used CAD for years, mind, so I have no idea which program would be best for this. OCtoolguy and Smudger 2 Quote
Sam777 Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 If you have the 3d file, I can take a shot at it by slicing as much as would be practical but we still need to design ways to put it together. Let me know OCtoolguy and Smudger 2 Quote

Let me know I haven't got a 3d file yet, I'm still trying to explore the process, thought it might be interesting. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
teachnlearn Posted August 3, 2019 Report Posted August 3, 2019 CT scan machine for medical does creates layered images. CAD software can be very basic to very high end and very expensive. Drawing exact dimensions of every part of a car, from the engine to the interior dash and seats, which are then sent as files to be manufactured. I know of many CAD programs in the industry which I worked on, but they were all paid for by the company. Haven't had access to a single one cause of their cost. Here is a few out there. Each with options and the more options, the more money. RJF https://all3dp.com/1/best-free-cad-software-2d-3d-cad-programs-design/ OCtoolguy 1 Quote
teachnlearn Posted August 3, 2019 Report Posted August 3, 2019 One idea that occurred too me. Make a model out of clay. Then use wire or floss and cut into sections. There are clay's that can be modeled then baked. Simple toaster oven can be used as a shop/craft oven.

ShayneP Posted June 4, 2021 Report Posted June 4, 2021 I know this is super late and an old post but, https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Slice-Up-a-T-Rex-in-123D-Make/ and slic3r for fusion 360. You do not need fusion 360 to use it. They are designed for this exact purpose. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
