I am a retired artist, with a few years of CNC wood cutting experience. The art pieces that I want to produce in ZBrush need to be sliced into segments of no more than 3" thickness so I can cut them on my machine. I really like the many options for that Fusion provides for3d cutting strategies. Is there a way to slice the STL files into segments, or do I need to do that in ZBrush to stay under the 10,000 poly limit for STL import? I am not sure I can decimate these files to 10K and maintain the level of detail that I need to capture the scene. Is there a work around for that STL size limit, or has it been increased? Any recommendations for getting from my large STL or OBJ files output from ZBrush to Gcode for a ShopBot would be appreciated. I have used other CAD programs designed for sign makers, but they cannot produce the fluid 3d drawings that Zbrush is capable of. But it has no CAM component so I need to bridge that gap myself.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Bob

You can try MeshCAM.
