ModelSplitter: Browser-Based Splitting for Oversized 3D Models

1 min read

ModelSplitter is in public beta, splitting STL and 3MF models into printable parts with connectors and an assembly guide.

What is new?

The browser-based application targets models larger than a printer build volume. It can propose cuts and connectors and export an illustrated assembly guide. A Pro crowdfunding campaign is planned for November, while the public beta currently allows users to test the features.

3DPS perspective

Real-world suitability should be evaluated against production, cost and reliability data as these become available.
