1. Import and inspect the source
Open an STL, OBJ, GLB, or GLTF model and rotate the inspection preview. Confirm the overall form, intended finished height, and whether the surface contains details that would create very small pieces.
2. Choose a realistic panel target
The panel target is the desired final glass-piece count. A smaller target simplifies cutting and assembly; a larger target can preserve more recognizable detail. Vitrifier reports the closest constructible result when the exact target is not compatible with the source geometry.
3. Vitrify the surface
Select a panel style, tune feature preservation and seam order, and run Vitrify. Review the numbered surface and fabrication warnings before finalizing the glass pieces.
4. Enter real material dimensions
Set glass thickness, copper-foil width, sheet dimensions, and the print bed used for removable fixtures. These values influence edge preparation, sheet layout, and jig generation.
5. Export the build pack
The downloadable project can include full-scale piece patterns, pane-layout files, a cut sequence, an assembly guide, and printable jig sections when the finalized geometry supports them. Inspect every output before cutting glass or printing fixtures.
