090731- SHOW ME THE CODE!!!-(RVB) – automatic unroll

This is another fabrication tool that i wrote almost two years ago for my thesis. So… let´s show the code!!!!

This tool was developed for the automated process of unrolling planar surfaces for fabrication via laser cut or cnc cut. It allows the user to select the surfaces of the model (or polysrf) and make an array of contours with an ID, in the model and the array (for further assembly help). I wrote it for the ribber tool, and added to the MAB FPS and exatect structure scripts.

It´s a very simple, but powerfull tool ,i hope you use it , and again , do whatever the f#$#cK u want. but remember to name the real author of the script.

Video showing the script running, (in spanish).

stay tuned for more SHOW ME THE CODE!!! in escripto…
