OK, it's live now!

scad'n'cut - OpenSCAD library for lasercutting

scad'n'cut aims to make it simple to construct lasercut parts in OpenSCAD. Arrange the parts in 3D space and create matching cutouts with ease!

@dwagenk Awesome, gotta try this!

So far I've used boxes.py for this kind of tasks (with visualization through OpenSCAD held back by https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/5038).

Have you used that and could tell a bit about how scad'n'cad does things differently?

@chrysn I've not created my own boxes with boxes.py yet, just used the existing generators, so comparison is hard.

AFAIK boxes.py relies in the user/box-generator-author to calculate matching finger positions, while with scad'n'cut you can define the finger joints on one part and use

module my_custom_bottom_part () { /* ... */ };

scadncut_part (plane=FRONT) {
   with_cutouts () my_custom_bottom_part();
}

to create matching fingers on another part.

@chrysn I added a boxes.py AngledBox reimplemantation to scad'n'cut to help compare the two:
