Usage Tutorial

RoCo has several features, explained here.

How to Use

Select a design (e.g. Stool). Then, you can input parameters. When you change any numbers, the 3D and 2D previews will automatically update.

You can change material between paper and plywood. Changing material changes thickness parameter (between 0.05/3/5mm). After selecting material, press the "Change Material" button to update.

When you're done, click the STl, DXF, or SVG buttons at the bottom, and RoCo will generate the appropriate file for export. These files can then be used for lasercutters, printing and cutting by hand, or other methods of fabrication.

In short: 1: cut, 2: fold, 3: play!
