- Scale Check flags splits and walls too thin at a chosen scale; Cutline aligns cut planes to layer height.
Field notes
The homepage lays out separate workflows rather than presenting one broad maker platform: spool-part design, scale and printability checks, and model cutting. It identifies STL, OBJ, and 3MF as supported model formats for Cutline and says that tool's cut planes snap to layer height. AMS Router is described separately as a Windows utility; additional desktop utilities and plugins are marked as coming soon.
