Hello all I have a DXF / Workflow question for an ambitious 2D into 3D slice project. I've used Slicer For F360 to create a sliced version of an STL file of Greek God Atlas for use in creating an elaborate Dinning Room Table Base.
Slicer for F360 generated 249 sheets/layers of DXF files to cut on a CNC. Like so:
However, when trying to use a plug-in such as DXF Import to import all 249 files and auto-extrude them F360 promptly crashes (even selecting 10 of the 249 files) causes F360 to crash. Moreover, I think the problem has a lot to do with poorly-defined profiles from the DXFs out of Slicer for F360... For example, you can see the red line as well as the "193" itself is imported into F360 as actual sketch lines and the dowel holes are not easily excluded from extrusion profile selection. Finally, the actual 30x30" material/sheet size is itself a profile in F360 after import.
Is there a better workflow here? Perhaps I should be using Slicer for F360's EPS or PDF export options?
Or perhaps should I be doing this all in F360 instead.... I've contemplated manually slicing Atlas in F360, but the STL/Mesh file has 500,000 facets and 10% mesh reduction looses a-lot of detail if I were to convert him to a body and slice him that way.... Perhaps, there is a way to slice an STL file in this manner in the Mesh Environment so that EACH resulting meshbody is less than 50,000 facets and could be sent to converted to a body afterwards?
