- SK��PA is a parametric 3D printing app designed to generate custom models for IKEA Skadis pegboards.
- The app mimics IKEA manuals with a black and white UI, using the Kanit font to avoid legal issues with IKEA Sans.
- Skapa allows users to specify dimensions (width, height, depth) and download 3D-printable models directly from the browser.
- The app uses manifold-3d for model generation and Three.js for rendering, with custom WebGL shaders for edge detection and outlines.
- Camera controls are simplified to vertical rotation and 180-degree flips to enhance user interaction without complexity.
- Future plans include expanding the app to support more IKEA products and beyond, improving model customization, and addressing 3D printing challenges like support structures.
