Split Mesh

The Split Mesh tool will divide a mesh into two portions based on a cutting plane. Split Mesh is an ideal tool for those working with facetted data along with 3D printing manufacturing processes.

Mesh Split to fit on a 3D printing bed

Highlights of the Split Mesh implementation:

Split Closed Mesh:

Splitting a closed mesh will create two closed meshes. This is ideal for taking a large model and dividing into smaller models that fit onto a smaller print bed. The individual splits can be later reassembled into the large model that did not originally fit on the print bed.

Split Open Mesh:

Splitting an open mesh will automatically close the mesh along the splitting plane. Used discretionary, this tool will allow you to quickly close large open holes in your model.

Mesh Booleans:

After using the Split tool, use the new boolean add, subtract, or intersect tools to create alignment holes to reassemble your split model.
