WolframSliceform Popup Tools is a Blender add-on that converts 3D models into sliceform structures, ideal for pop-up cards, laser-cut sculptures, and foldable designs. It provides a complete workflow to transform digital meshes into flat, interlocking slices ready for assembly in paper, cardboard, wood, metal, or other materials.
Key features:
- MeshMaker: Combines objects, applies voxel remeshing, and fixes geometry to prepare clean, watertight models for slicing.
- SliceMaker: Generates precise cutting planes and slice pieces with customizable grid and offset options.
- SlotMaker: Automatically adds interlocking slots based on material thickness, with manual adjustment options via Debug Mode.
- Slice Numbering: Option to embed part numbers directly into slice geometry for easier assembly.
- TabMaker: Adds folding boxes with glue tabs for creating pop-up card mechanics, aligned precisely to the sliceform structure.
- SVG Arrange Layout Tool: Flattens and arranges slices for easy export to vector software, with organized alphabetical sorting.
- SVG Export Ready: Produces front-facing, flat geometry suitable for export with tools like “Outline To SVG”.
- Designed for Laser Cutting and Prototyping: Supports rapid prototyping, sculptural works, and educational projects across paper, wood, cardboard, and metal.
