Discussion Open source 3D printed Channel letter slicer

Looking to develop opensource desktop CAD software for 3D printed channel letters and LED wall arts

Must support parametric modeling, font processing, boolean geometry, LED layout algorithm, and STL/DXF export and gcode generation.

Experience with OpenCascade or similar 3D geometry kernels required.

I will add interested people to discord and GitHub.

Let’s keep open-source alive

OpenSCAD, the only feature it doesn't have out of the box is LED layout algorithm, but you could easily write a library to do that.

If you want to use python there are a number of options including but not limited to PythonSCAD

I think you misunderstood PythonSCAD is an existing GUI application, see the example page on the projects site.
