Fablab Baltimore's summary on Laser cutters.

Laser Cutting resources (specific to Epilog mini 24) We made a chart for it and displayed it in the lab. Kerf traditionally is the width of the slit left by a cutting blade like a saw made when it bites into the material being cut similarly, in laser cutting - kerf is the width of the slit burnt up by the laser.Ī lot of variables determine the kerf width i presume, among them would be lens cleanliness, bed levelling and mainly the focus settingĪs part of the group assignment, we found out the ideal settings (Power and Speed) for 15 differnt materials like different papers, MDFs and acrylics for four cut-types - through-cut / etching / Half-cut / MArking Group project - Testing the laser cutter settings and learning about kerf

Screen printing with the above design and transfering vinyl to laptop.

THe main variable is the downwards force the blade applies on the sheet to be cut, through error and trial - i found the folllowing cutting pressure to be ideal

Then specified the sheet size from the 'print setup' dialog.

After tracing the outline, I scaled the drawing.

I had to export a jpg from My CAD software and trace the outlines in CutStudio.the formats it can export are very limited.I've used the bundled software - CutStudio to prepare the drawing file.Setting up the machine involves the following This mind map was created with 'Freeplane' The vinyl cutter we had access to was the Roland GX-24, it was hooked up to a Windows 7 laptop running the bundled cutting software - 'CutStudio', the workflow involved the following steps. Using the command 'offset' I gave the pentagram some thickness.Needed more construction lines for the top 2 vertices of the pentagram.Lines drawn in the construction layer are infinite in length by default, as opposed to the lines drawn, for example in layer '0'.I used circles ('ci command') and lines ('li' command) in a new construction layer to develop the framework for a pentagram.So make sure to look at the 'Grid sizing' numbers represented as XX, YY in the bottom left corner before using the Grid for drafting lines The Grid in the drawing space will adapt to the screen size and zoom level in the order of 10s.Under the 'Dimensions' tab, set the default sizes for 'text blocks'and dimension lines.Making sure that 'Preferences' are set to one's liking.Using LibreCAD to make the drawing || Download the dxf file for the below drawing The Official LIbreCAD wiki is what I referred to, for learning the basics.
