Using Slicer for multi-pass engraving to carve solid forms from a block of wood

Hello--

 

I'm new to Slicer, but I've done enough with it to see I'll be able to do some fantastic builds using it. I believe, based on what I've seen, that it has the data to do what I want to do--I just don't know how to access it.

 

Instead of laying out cuts on sheets to optimize material efficiency, I want it to create a series of sheets where each level is represented faithfully in terms of objects' geometric relationships with all the other objects in that slice. I want to do that so I can send a series of full page cuts through the laser, one page after another, each one engraving in to the same thick block of wood, cutting away all the excess, layer by layer, until I'm left with a 3D wooden solid. I believe the Assembly Steps function has access to all this data--just not in a way that my laser can understand.

 

Does this make sense?  I feel like what I'm asking for is for the app to do one fewer thing for me. I'd love to be able to convince it to try.

Sounds like you should be asking Fusion  Cam gurus.  I have no need to use CAM, for my Laser, but 3d Adaptive Claering does what I think you are looking for.  

 

I could be wrong.

Thanks Dave--looks like I've got some reading to do, but I'll see if I can ask the question in the appropriate spot. Appreciated!
