AutoVent

Generate automated vent holes in STL geometry for vacuum forming workflows.

🚀 Features

• Detects surface depressions in STL geometry
• Automatically places conical holes (frustums) at local minima
• Configurable hole size, angle, spacing, and depth
• Uses OpenSCAD for robust frustum generation
• Outputs STL files as negative volumes for slicer

🛠 Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• OpenSCAD (must be installed and accessible by path)
• Python libraries:
  • trimesh
  • numpy
  • scipy
  • shapely
  • scikit-learn

Install dependencies with:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openscad python3-pip
pip install trimesh numpy scipy shapely scikit-learn
