# Quick Joint

Source of documentation: [https://github.com/JarrettR/QuickJoint](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
