My daughter loves animal shaped puzzles. Does anyone know of an easy way to turn a shape into puzzle pieces? I’ve included a photo for what I’m looking to do. Thanks!
In Easel, there is a puzzle maker app.
That makes puzzle pieces for a standard puzzle. Not able to take a shape and make it into a puzzle. Unless I’m missing something.
I did a few like this. Draw out the shape, then the desired puzzle cuts, offset the lines by around 1/32-1/16 (do some test to find what you like)
I made that same elephant puzzle last year, Here is the SVG file from my project.

Just be sure you cut on the outside of the lines with a .125 inch tool and it will fit together just fine. I made mine from a 1 inch thick piece of maple.
Here is the Vcarve file if you can use it.

Cut your animals with the CNC, then puzzle cut it on a bandsaw.
