About this app

Turns one curve into a cut list you can work from.

Pick a base shape, set the length, height, blade thickness and width and the maximum lean, and every blade is solved on its own: its angle, its edge length, the raw stock it needs before the cut, and where its foot and head sit, to the millimetre.

■ Thirteen shapes
Wave · Zigzag · Opposed arcs · Lens · Sail · Fan · Twist · Terrace · Growing wave · Braid · Round drum · Twin legs · Crossed

Each one opens the generator with only the controls it actually reads. Shapes whose joints will not close below a certain blade width set that minimum for you, so you meet the limit here rather than as an open joint on the bench.

■ What comes out
— A 3D view you turn with a finger
— Floor plan and top plan, dimensioned
— Blade templates
— Grouping table: angles gathered into identical groups, one saw setting each
— Cutting and marking table: every blade with its number, angle, hand, and length before and after the cut
— A PDF report holding all of it, to print or keep
— A DXF of the blades, numbered and marked, ready for a CNC

■ It tells you where it is weak
The shared face between neighbouring blades is integrated exactly, not estimated. It names the weakest joint and the narrowest contact at the floor, and marks the places on the plan where a screw head hides behind the blade in front.

■ Stiffening plates
A base plate with a pocket routed to the ribbon's outline gives every blade its own path to ground. A top plate ties the heads, gives the glass a continuous bearing, and covers the serrated top edge. Both come out in the DXF on their own layers.

■ Solve the angles from two widths
Enter the width you want at the top and at the floor, and the app searches for the lean and meander that produce them.

■ Works offline
Everything is computed on your device. No account, no sign-in, no data collected and nothing sent anywhere.

Built for someone standing at the saw: every number in the tables is a number you measure and cut to.
