You can also use Joinery to laser cut the objects and build more complex 3D objects. Not to mention that you can design nice product packaging this way. Also, the cosplay scene often uses this method to build thee-dimensional costumes out of foam sheets.
When I was a kid, paper models were also quiet popular as toys. Architectural models are often built this way. Among other things, building paper models is a classic method for prototyping. Other methods are more efficient under these circumstances.
The cost for the object, the time to print it and the amount of reworking that needs to be done for the surface increase with the size of the object. But the downsides are the cost and the amount of extra work you have to put into the 3D printed objects to get a clean surface.Įspecially when prototyping large objects, 3D-Printing is less attractive. Sure, you can easily 3D-print computer designed objects. Rapid Prototyping is an oft-mentioned word (even more so since the advent of 3D-Printing). This article will look at several Inkscape extensions for making Papercraft or that otherwise help to flatten out three-dimensional (3D) objects. The last article of this series showed how to use Stroke or Hershey Fonts for engraving and other such methods with Inkscape. Also, Inkscape can do a lot more than just graphics.
With vector graphics (in our case SVG) a lot more can be done. Inkscape, the most used and loved tool of Fedora’s Design Team is not just a program for doing nice vector graphics.
