HOW TO USE THE APP: Add geometric shapes (from the right panel) to the plataform to create your own object. Also you can import STL, OBJ and 3DS models to the plataform. Later, export the object as STL, OBJ file (for 3D printing) or as a SCENE file (to keep working on it later). HOW TO CUT OBJECTS: 1) Add object A to the plaform. 2) Add object B to the platform. 3) Select object B. 4) Select the material 'Hollow' (from the right panel). 5) Export the work as a STL, OBJ file (the object B will erase every object, partially or entirely, that is within it's space).
