FAQ

Is CutCase a MakerCase clone?

CutCase is inspired by the broad workflow of browser-based box generators: enter dimensions, preview the box, and export SVG. It is a separate implementation with its own feature editor, lid/divider add-ons, and repo structure.

Does CutCase run offline?

Yes, after dependencies are installed and preview3d.bundle.js exists, index.html can be opened directly. The hosted version also runs as a static GitHub Pages site.

Does it require a backend?

No. CutCase is a static frontend app.

What units does CutCase use?

Millimeters.

Can it export DXF?

Not yet. SVG export is currently supported.

Can I reopen an exported SVG and keep editing?

Not yet. The SVG includes embedded metadata to support this in the future, but import/reopen is not implemented.

Can I place holes directly on the 3D model?

Not yet. Current feature placement is in the 2D SVG layout. 3D face-click placement is on the roadmap.

Are divider positions adjustable?

Currently, divider positions are evenly spaced. Variable divider positions are on the roadmap.

Does CutCase compensate kerf perfectly?

No. The current kerf model is simple and useful for fit iteration. A full polygon offset engine is planned.

Can I use it for CNC routing?

The SVG can be used as vector geometry, but dogbone reliefs and router-specific corner compensation are not implemented yet. Laser cutting is the primary target for the current version.

Why does finger width change slightly?

CutCase treats finger width as a target. It adjusts the actual segment pattern to keep an odd number of segments and centered margins.

Why should I cut a fit test?

Material thickness and kerf vary. A fit test reduces wasted material and catches joint fit problems before the full cut.

What browsers are supported?

Modern browsers with WebGL support should work. The automated verifier uses Google Chrome.

Why is preview3d.bundle.js committed?

It keeps the app usable from a direct file:// URL without requiring a dev server or module import map.

Can I host CutCase elsewhere?

Yes. It is a static site. Any static host can serve the built dist/ folder.
