This is kind of moving backwards from Rapid Prototyping and all Digital models, but I need to build physical car model (scaled). I would like to know if there are any ways to "automatically" slice a model into user defined thickness for generating templates. Templates would be printed and used with urathane foam layers to recreate the MOI model.

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob, there is a tool from Autodesk that is specifically focused on generating thick slices from models to build them using laser cut pieces.

I think it's this one here: http://www.123dapp.com/make

Importing your model into that is probably the easiest way.
