slicing with OpenJSCAD
-
Hello, I'm using OpenJSCAD to slice a model to laser cut it and it works fine on a model with 1000 triangles. I use the SVG export directly and that's very nice, even if there's little editing to do before to export to gcode and cut.

Very interesting indeed.
What are you going to do with all of those slices?

This is absolutely amazing, both from a technical and a design point of view ! big kudos !

I am guessing it does not scale particularly well ?

@kaosat-dev At first I tried to use a 10K triangles model but as it didn't render I downscaled to 5K, 3K, 2K then 1K. And after, I made another model with 2x more slices that this script was unable to render even with a 1K model, so I changed the script to make it render chunks of slices, and it was ok. I suppose it could work with higher resolutions models.
