Laser Cutting/AutoCAD

AutoCAD Laser Cutting Guide

1. Choose the correct laser cutter based on the material and its maximum cut size.

Your job should be smaller size then then Max Material Size.

TROTEC SPEEDY 400

DIGITAL MODELLING  @ BUILDING 202

MAX MATERIAL = SIZE 900 x 600 x 12.7mm

Strawboard,  Plywood,  Acrylic, leather , other upon request

TROTEC SP500

DBE MAKERSPACE @ BUILDING 418

MAX MATERIAL SIZE =  1245 x 710 x 12.7mm

Strawboard,  Plywood

2. Ensure that your objects are at the appropriate scale.

The Laser Cutter cuts  at 1:1 scale.

For example, if you need your models at 1:100,

they should be scaled down by 0.01.

Having trouble with Scale  |  Try a scale converter:
