AutoCAD Laser Cutting Guide
1. Choose the correct laser cutter based on the material and its maximum cut 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:

3. Download the template
AutoCAD Laser cutting template Trotec SP500 (dwg)
AutoCAD Laser cutting template Emblaser 2 (dwg)
