Flatterer
Flat mesh to SVG exporter for laser cutters.
Flatterer turns a 3D model in Blender into a set of shapes suitable for laser cutting. It’s aimed at easily exporting boxes, enclosures, and other made-for-laser-cutting designs to SVG.
What's New
1.6.0 March 9th, 2025
- Add two "Boolean Cut" operators:
- Cut all selected objects out of the active object.
- Cut the active object out of all selected objects.
- Shape Table: include surface area (in m²) of each exported shape.
- Fix bug where the 'Align to Local Axis' would cause an error.
- Work around issue handling zero-length edges.
- Support "engrave" edges also when inside the mesh (before it was only working for wire edges).
It took some playing around with to get it to work with my project and now I'm able to export my designs to svg. 4 of 5 stars because it works. I experienced many unhandled errors when trying to get it to work and getting everything coordinated to export at the correct scale took quite a while. With that being able to create laser items from Blender is amazing. Thanks for the sharing dr.syben!
