WORKFLOW REVOLUTION

Designed for Speed & Precision

Stop manually building alignment pins and key sockets. Cut & Key automates the entire process in two fast stages.

Stage 1: Line & Freehand Slice

Draw straight or freehand cut strokes across specific parts of your model. Cut only what's under the stroke while preserving smooth & sharp shading boundaries below 30°.

Stage 2: Automatic Dovetail Peg & Socket

Instantly generates interlocking male pegs and female sockets between selected split halves with adjustable scale, height, taper, and direction flip.

3D Print Watertight Capping

Built-in planar ngon hole fill & beauty triangle fill algorithm automatically caps open boundary cuts, making your parts immediately watertight for SLA/FDM printers.

1-Click Non-Destructive Undo

Need to re-adjust your cut placement? Instant 'Undo Last Cut' and 'Delete All Cuts' tools keep your original topology safe and clean.
