Living hinge

How it works

1. Cuts run along the bend axis. The horizontal direction in the preview is the direction the panel will bend around.
2. Start with the defaults for 3 mm plywood. If it cracks, lengthen Cut length or shrink Link length. If it's too floppy, do the opposite.
3. Tighter bends need smaller Row spacing. A rough rule for ply: row spacing ≈ 2× material thickness for gentle curves, 1× for tight curves.
