{Design into 3D: A system for customizable project designs}
{William Adams}
{Design into 3D is a system for modeling parametric projects for
manufacture using \acro{CNC} machines. It documents using
Open\acro{SCAD} to allow a user to instantly see a 3D rendering of the
result of adjusting a parameter in the Customizer interface, parameters
are then saved as \JSON\ files which are then read into a Lua\LaTeX\
file which creates a \PDF\ as a cut list\slash setup sheet\slash
assembly instructions and MetaPost to create \SVG\ files which may be
loaded into a \acro{CAM} tool. A further possibility is using a tool
such as \acro{TPL} (Tool Path Language) to make files which are ready to
cut.

This was initially a (funded) Kickstarter
\url{https://kickstarter.com/projects/designinto3d/\\design-into-3d-a-book-of-customizable-project-desi}
and is being developed as a wiki page on the Shapeoko
project
\\(\url{https://wiki.shapeoko.com/index.php/Design_\\into_3D})
with code on GitHub
\\(\url{https://github.com/WillAdams/Design_Into_3D}
and a number of sample files and project have already been made:

\\and this is tied into a Thingiverse project

\\and an on-line box generator
