This section will run through how we recommend you use 2D Design with your laser cutter. We shall use a key fob for this project as this is a simple design but will also
cover how you should address larger more complicated projects. Use a systematic approach for setting up the laser, software and printer drivers.
We will cover:
- How to set up your page size in 2D Design so that it matches the size of you material in the laser cutter.
- How to assign the custom colours to define the order in which the design will be cut and/or engraved.
For how to perform the design process itself please use the training demonstrations within
the 2D Design Software.
Note:
Step 1.
“Setup”
Once you have opened up 2D Design go to
on the top tool bar.
Step 2.
“Drawing”
“Layout”
Then proceed to
then across to
. This will open up a new window.
This step by step guide will run through how to set your page size in 2D Design so that it matches the size of the material you will be working with in the laser cutter.
