Project Description
In 2020, I initiated “plycutter,” an open-source hobby project. It’s a geometric heuristic program I conceived to transform 3D STL models into laser-cuttable 2D pieces with finger-jointed connections. I created the idea, algorithm, and the entire program from scratch. While developing plycutter, I encountered numerical instability issues in existing Python 2D geometry libraries, prompting me to develop my own custom 2D geometry library, which became an integral part of the plycutter project.
You can explore this project at https://tjltjl.github.io/plycutter/. It’s a Python-based initiative that reflects my dedication to open-source development and innovative problem-solving.
