Surgical Stack — 3D Layered Architecture Visualizer

Layered architecture diagrams — frontend, API, database, cache, CDN — look better in 3D. Surgical Stack renders them as a perspective-tilted vertical stack.

What it does

Enter up to 12 items, one per line. Each becomes a layer in a 3D stacked bar. The perspective tilt gives depth — you can see which layer is on top and how they stack.

Customize dimensions (height, width, depth per layer) and typography. Export as PNG for slides or architecture documentation.

Compared to a regular diagram

Regular layered architecture diagrams in Figma or draw.io are flat boxes. The 3D perspective makes the stacking relationship immediately clear — useful when presenting to non-technical stakeholders who need to understand how components sit on top of each other.

Use case

• System architecture presentations
• Stack comparison slides
• Layer-by-layer technical walkthroughs
