[FormFitter] FormFitter Feature Preview!
The new FormFitter is still in development but I wanted to give you guys a preview of some of the features I plan on including in a 1.0 release! Everything of course is subject to change down the line. If you want more frequent updates or to ask questions, the best place would be the Facebook group page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/701367925918099
Image 1: Free form cut tools
This feature aims at helping customize your printing experience. Designers often have their own interpretation of how parts should be separated (if at all); this tool would help you draw your own separation points onto existing files.
Image 2: Exporting according to printer constraints
When exporting all your scaled files you have the option to enable printer constraints. This will automatically cut up all parts in order to fit your pre-determined print volume. Right now it's just a planar cut but we might look into automatically adding alignment keys.
Image 3: Armor snap points and transformation tools
When importing armor you'll have the option to "snap" it to pre-defined points on your avatar. This also means you'll be able to swap out avatars for your builds. For example, say you scale some clone armor to your own proportions but want to make a set for your friend. You'll just load in their avatar instead and it'll automatically re-adjust aligned armor parts to their "snapped" relative location.
Image 4: Head Mode
For some increased accuracy for helmets I'd like to add a "Head Mode" option. This will allow you to import 2 canvases, scale them to your entered head measurements. Then import ear, nose, and maybe glasses objects and perfectly scale them to your proportions and positions. This should help scaling helmets be more accurate to your true head shape.
Image 5: Sizing Slices
You've scaled your parts but do you want to double-check everything before printing the full thing? This toggle would let you specify a cut point for a thin cross section part to be exported with your scaled armor, letting you test it on your body before printing the full piece.
This is not a complete list of features I plan on including in FormFitter, but they are some of the more interesting ones! Another feature I'd like to add is a "Marketplace". 1 to help pay for development of the program, but 2 allow other pre-approved designers to sell their files with pre-built FormFitter project files included. Hopefully one day a FormFitter project file will be more frequently included in other's cosplay file releases, it'll definitely be included in our future releases!
Thanks for reading everyone! As always, let me know if you have any feedback or features you'd like to see included.

So looking forward to this.
How long till it releases?
Wait. Helmet with glasses. :O
This is awesome, can’t wait to use it.
That is so cool that you took this on.
Can’t wait to be able to use it when it releases! You guys are truly a god sent, formfitter is going to make all our lives a crap ton easier and save so much time and filament!
Great news. Are you any closer to announcing a release date?
i need this now
so many great inovations, can't wait for this to hit
Do you know what you’ll charge for it yet??? (I literally cannot wait)
I can not wait until this is completed. There’s nothing worse than printing an armor piece only to find out It is too small.
Thank you for thinking of the glasses wearers 🙏🙏
Or a knife cutting tool?
Will there be a MacOS version made available?
Yes, Mac users will be able to use the web version
It would be neat if you could have some basic range of motion checks. By that I mean have the avatar rigged and test for interference between printed parts while moving limbs around. Maybe even give the result an "agility" score!
Yeah that's something I'll consider in a future update
I use Armorsmith but will be switching to this on Day 1! Can't wait!
Looking forward to this i have armour Smith but I cant get the avatar scaled right
Awesome work Aaron and Team 👍👍👍
Will the specialist tier subscribers get this for free?
At least a discount!
phenomenal!
This looks sick as !
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!! I want that so bad. Do you have any kind of estimate on a release date?
I'm hoping first quarter of 2026
This is so awesome! When will it be out?
I'm hoping first quarter of 2026
This is AWESOME!! Any chance that we could get curved cuts and not just planar? It would make creating attachment methods and splits along natural armor lines WAY easier :)
Spline cuts are something I'll look into
Wow...this is way more features than ever expected. CAN'T WAIT!!
It’s beautiful. I could cry. Have you guys discussed pricing/subscription prices?
Yes but we're going to decide when we're closer to launch
I’m so ready for this to come out
Where's that gif of the hockey kid screaming YEEEEESSSS!
Awesome !
Can't wait to try it!
Is looking so good.
This sounds so awesome!! I can’t wait to get my hands on the software.
This is going to be fantastic. Really appreciate all the hard work you are putting into this
It's a tool we'll personally use so I'm making sure it's working well!
😍 I’m SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!! 🤗
So hyped for this. I am willing to pay a large amount of money for a tool that actually works
Don't tell me that haha I plan on offering it at a less-than-painful price
Love it !!
