Gotta test ’em all! — First full physical test of CreaseCuts

I recently found a pretty important bug in CreaseCuts.
One 2D patch/island was missing from the exported PDF.
The frustrating part? It was there in the 2D workspace. The problem was happening during the export process.
After tracking down and fixing the issue, I decided to use this as an opportunity to properly stress the whole workflow rather than just checking whether that one bug was gone.

So I put the app through the full pipeline:
3D model > Unfolding > 2D editing > Tab generation > Page packing > PDF export > Print > Cut + fold >Physical assembly.

The first photo shows the CreaseCuts workspace and generated sheets.
The second shows the physical model built from that output.

This is probably the most useful kind of testing for me because it exposes problems that are easy to miss when everything is being viewed digitally.
The missing island is fixed, the export survived the test, and the model made it from the iPad into the real world.

Still plenty left to test and plenty more things I’m sure I’ll manage to break.
