By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your AutoCAD drawings are laser-ready, with optimized file setups, clean geometry, and effective nesting.

Whether you're working with vector cuts, engravings, or raster engravings, these practices will help you achieve the best results for your project.

To prepare artwork for laser cutting, use vector files (.AI, .DXF, .SVG). Follow steps like outlining text, removing duplicates, ensuring continuous paths, and purging stray points.

After submission, we estimate costs, machine time, and offer competitive pricing for large runs.

Wood is one of the most commonly applied materials that are used with laser cutters and engravers, and there are many reasons for that. Compared to other materials, it has relatively inexpensive options and looks fantastic when used with both desktop laser cutters and industrial laser cutters.

This article discusses the importance of maintaining clean optics in laser engravers, specifically mirrors and focus lenses, to ensure optimal performance. It explains how airborne particles, smoke, and debris from the laser cutting process can contaminate mirrors and lenses, leading to reduced efficiency, potential overheating, and permanent damage.

The article provides step-by-step instructions for cleaning the mirrors and lenses using isopropyl alcohol, proper tools, and techniques. It emphasizes regular cleaning and inspection to extend the lifespan of the equipment and maintain high-quality results.
