Design Parametric Sliced Furniture for CNC | Blender CAM Tutorial + G-Code Workflow
Create parametric sliced furniture using free software!
In this Blender + Blender CAM tutorial, you’ll learn how to design a sliced 3D model, generate clean profiles for each layer, and export the G-code you need to cut all the parts on a CNC machine.
This step-by-step guide covers:
Modeling sliced / parametric furniture in Blender
Setting up slicers, arrays, and connectors
Preparing clean geometry for CNC cutting
Using Blender CAM to generate accurate toolpaths
Exporting G-code for all slices
Perfect for makers, CNC enthusiasts, woodworkers, and anyone wanting to turn creative 3D concepts into real CNC-cut furniture using a 100% free workflow.
