Laser Cutter

The Music is awful, but the process is amazing.

Notes from Demonstration:

• Cuts in the middle of the line (2mm).
• Rhino/Illustrator files - Ai files/.dxf files.
  
• Different colours mean different cuts: Red -Cut, Blue - Kiss Cut, Light Blue - No Cut, Green - Engrave; Uses true colours.
• Can "rasta" an image (jpeg, preferably a tif file) will cut an image onto the surface of the media - can then be further engraved/etched and cut.
• Use edge detector/ vector trace to find the lines in the image.
• will cut wooden and plastic media up to 25mm thick.
• Wood will have a singed edge after cutting (because it uses heat) - can be useful when going onto spray paint wood - the laser seals the edge of the wood.
• The laser will flame polish the edges of plastics - can melt them of it's too strong.
• laser has to be set to cut the hardest material in a composite material piece.
