PlyCutter

• https://tjltjl.github.io/plycutter

To make this work we need to install the plycutter module itself:

sudo dnf install gmp-devel mpfr-devel mpc libmpc-devel #required to build gmpy2
 
#install plycutter dependency:
pip install git+https://github.com/tjltjl/plycutter.git
 
#or by cloning:
git clone https://github.com/eridur-de/plycutter.git
cd plycutter
sudo python3 setup.py install
plycutter #test the command if it is available and if it works

Quick Joint

Source of documentation: https://github.com/JarrettR/QuickJoint

This is an Inkscape extension to help rapidly prototype 3D assemblies using a laser cutter, CNC router, waterjet cutter, or similar 2D process. It can quickly add box tabs to objects.

Notes

• works only for straight line segments!
• works for objects like rectangles too

Draw some line or polygon

Use extension to add tabs or slots

Example with 6 lines (sides):

added to all sides:
