Assignments

cut something on the vinylcutter
design, make, and document a parametric press-fit construction kit

Applications

  • Fusion360
  • Inkscape
  • Coreldraw
  • iMovie
  • Firstly, I designed the object by 'sketch' tool of fusion360.
    There are several restrictions on the sketch function.

  • it can not pattern copy.

  • It can not be cut out of each other sketch.

    I exported the DXF file from this scketch of Fusion360
    and this DXF was opened by Inkscape. Inkscape converted to PDF.
    This PDF has been converted the line type in Coreldraw for laser cutter cut out.

    This file was export to Lazer cutter by Trotek.
    The parameter that output of Lazer power is below picture.

    Regarding lazer cut, please see the movie of cutting. it is bottom link.
    I tried again.
    The process was a projection from 3D modeling to 2D sketches.
    This way was useful.
