is there a way instead of 123d make ?

RE: is there a way instead of 123d make ?

Not that I am aware of.  I would really like to see how automated the 123D Make process/software is.  One click or 10 hours.

I knew a guy that made model ships this way using AutoCAD.
In SolidWorks, make the 3D model, then slice it into shapes. Plot the shapes via DXF, then cut (or laser/waterjet/etc cut).

I am wondering about all the cuts necessary to interlock the pieces... how automatic is that.

(OP)
aha i just want to shortcut about 10 hours to make this slices as it take along time of math is there any program do that instead of 123d make ?

RE: is there a way instead of 123d make ?

You have SolidWorks, no program to do this. You have to model it and create slices. Not hard to do.
It's possible to write API to do it.
