Peder Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Would it be possible or interesting to have some sort of semi automatic 3D printing plugins? I am thinking about things like dovetail joints, pegs hinges etc. With possibility to set up tolerances between the parts. I know it can be done manually but how great would it be to have for instance a slice tool or a version of the extend tool with a parametric join option? Bringing the concept of the unfolding tool up to date with current prototyping tech? It would be a feature to set FZ apart from the competition!

jsiggia Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Different build materials have different tolerances for the same class of fit you desire. New materials are arriving almost monthly (Shapeways has a stretchy material). This would have to allow for some input from the user. Just thinking from the hip here...
