It’s pretty hard when you have to also account for extra printing to conceal the item. You can render a result, but if it just looks like a box with convenient breakaway pieces that snap to leave behind just the part, you’ll need some more complex work than simple pattern matching. And even then each piece of a gun isn’t a really a unique shape only used for firearms.
Assuming there is extra printing. That wastes resources and your iterative designs are also captured in sequence, which reveals the direction of your efforts.
