CAM studio API
Hi!
Seeing the presentation for Onshape CAM studio, I was wondering when we can expect the Glassworks explorer to be updated with documentation for the API endpoints for CAM studio? I am currently doing a project which utilizes some of Onshape´s REST API enpoints, and coincidentally I have recently discovered that CAM might be very beneficial for my project!

How to wrap on a non-circular curve?
I want to create a specific texture on the following curve curved surface. When I try using a wrap it lets me pick the circular surface next to it, but not this one. Is it possible to project onto this sort of curve?
Re: Need some help with being efficient.
Put part 1 in tools, and part 2 in targets. Then you should be set. Tool is the part doing the cutting. Target is part getting cut.
This particular tool does not go by surfaces, only entire parts. It goes by the entire part. You could even pick the parts from the tree instead of the graphics area.
Also, it helps to name the parts like I did. This way its easier to know which is which when selecting.
Re: Why do I get non-manifold edges simply by doing a transform/rotate and how do I fix it?
Prusa slicer (on which Bambu slicer is based) reports the same. I'm guessing it's an artifact of how the slicer imports and tessellates the non-mesh file. Importing meshes is trivial; importing CAD data is hard. Separately, I would definitely not do the rotation in CAD - your slicer can do that fine.
Do you see any issues with the slicing? Even with the bad edges, the preview looks totally printable.

Why do I get non-manifold edges simply by doing a transform/rotate and how do I fix it?
Hi, I'm new here.
I tried searching the forums for similar issues, but could not find any topic related to non-manifold when doing a rotate.
So I have a model, which works fine as it is and has no issues. I wanted to export it at an angled position, so it's easier to print this way, so I added a transform/rotate step.
But simply doing this transform causes the STEP file export to get 8 non-manifold edges (at least Bambu Studio says so). Removing the transform fixes the issue, so it's somehow related.
Exporting a 3MF file does not have the same issue, so it also seems to be related to the STEP file format.
I'm guessing this is a bug. Has anyone encountered something similar?

Non-manifold geometry, how to solve?
Here's my document, if someone wants to poke around: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/526d038b98a28fdcb20dfa41/w/54b6f21c62fce1ec0fb84245/e/0d2432d11fa3e95c8c667e26?renderMode=0&uiState=66aeb7570ca3d416ff4aa11e
Thank you!
Re: Can you please check what is causing the nonmanifold geometry

Thank you for your help!
Re: Why is this non-manifold? (No it isn't.) What's the quickest workaround?

Zoomed in to see the overlap.

At .011 OnShape accepted the overlap's existence.
