But the downsides are the cost and the amount of extra work you have to put into the 3D printed objects to get a clean surface.Įspecially when prototyping large objects, 3D-Printing is less attractive. Sure, you can easily 3D-print computer designed objects. Rapid Prototyping is an oft-mentioned word (even more so since the advent of 3D-Printing). This article will look at several Inkscape extensions for making Papercraft or that otherwise help to flatten out three-dimensional (3D) objects. The last article of this series showed how to use Stroke or Hershey Fonts for engraving and other such methods with Inkscape. Also, Inkscape can do a lot more than just graphics. With vector graphics (in our case SVG) a lot more can be done. Inkscape, the most used and loved tool of Fedora’s Design Team is not just a program for doing nice vector graphics.
