About This Project

Built a parametric Python pipeline that auto-generates SVG cut files for laser-cut acrylic boxes — specifying dimensions, tab-slot joint tolerance, and fractal engraving depth through simple parameters.

Fractal patterns (Sierpiński triangle, Koch snowflake) are programmatically generated and mapped onto box panels. The workflow takes inputs like 100×200×100mm and outputs production-ready SVGs for the laser cutter — no manual design needed.
