Hello Rhino community  
I want to introduce a new plugin called Rhino Slicer. I developed it because it was the thing I was missing in Rhino plugins.

Rhino Slicer is a compact plugin, designed to streamline slicing tasks in Rhino 8. It focuses on predictable output, fast interaction, and a clean UI. The tool generates contour curves and auto‑scaled numbering suitable for fabrication and documentation.  
I use it for laser cutting, CNC milling and plotters, but hopefully other people discover other useful means, tell me if you do.

### What Rhino Slicer does

- **Contour slicing**  
Supports Breps (including trimmed surfaces), meshes (polyline slices), and SubD (via Brep conversion).

- **Auto‑scaled numbering**  
Text scales dynamically based on slice size to maintain readability.

- **Numbers in single stroke font**  
Saves time in cutting.

- **Auto numbering by slice**  
Each slice gets a number, if more curves in one slice, they will get the same number, for easy assembly.

- **Rectangle generator**  
Each slice receives a proportional frame, useful for nesting or technical drawings.

- **Matrix and on-object preview**  
A clear overview of all slices in a single window.

- **Real‑time conduit**  
The preview updates instantly when adjusting parameters.

- **Sorted in layers & color**  
Output curves (black) in Cut layer, numbers(red) in Mark layer, rectangle(blue) in Rect layer.

- Trimmed surfaces are fully supported (RhinoCommon handles trimming internally).

- Mesh slices are polylines; conversion to NURBS is maybe in version2.

- SubD slicing works via `SubD.ToBrep()` and curve joining.

- Open surfaces produce open curves; handling is included.

- Rhino Slicer uses the contour method. Maybe add sections in version 2.

you can download Rhino Slicer [here](https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/rhino-slicer), it’s free.  
Tell me if you like it, tell me if you don’t.
