OpenSlicer Studio is a modern, zero-install, browser-based open-source reimagining and extension of AutodeskĀ® Slicer for Fusion 360 (formerly 123D Make). It converts 3D models into fabrication-ready 2D cutting plans (.DXF,SVG,EPS) for laser cutters, CNC routers, and cardboard/wood physical model making. It combines modern 3D scene workflows inspired by OrcaSlicer / Bambu Studio (Lay-on-Face, Outside-Object Protractor Gimbal) with an advanced geometric slicing and interlocking joint engine

Could you build this?

Partial The browser UI and DXF export are vibe-codeable, but turning a 3D mesh into flat, unfoldable cutting panels for physical models requires non-trivial geometry algorithms.

What it would actually take: Use three.js for rendering and a geometry library for mesh processing and DXF/SVG export. The hard part is the slicing and unfolding algorithm, which must split a 3D mesh into developable planar panels with tabs and minimal distortion, similar to Autodesk's Slicer. This takes computational geometry knowledge and extensive testing on real models.
