Platform Requirements and Important Guidelines

Please note that completing your projects requires physical materials, including heavy-weight paper, a standard printer, precision cutting tools, and adhesive. SHIRYU is specialized crafting software intended for creative and educational expression; it is not industrial CAD or engineering software and is not designed for manufacturing precision or safety-critical tolerance control.
