Here is an example of a design for laser cutting technology using the program fusion 360


the final design should look like this which is a cube works as a candle holder



First assigning the parameters of the design as follows



Then starting by the first face using the sketching tool, the face should have these dimentions



Then sketching the second face using the following dimentions and applying the kurve tolerance of the maschine



As the cube is assymetric only one face is left to sketch which can be done as follows



Then extruding the three faces and copying face 1,2 with 3 mm material thickness






Now the detailing of the faces consists of a fully cut patterns on the side faces and an engraving on the bottom face, These can be achived using the folowing sketch










in order to extract the file fed into the laser cutting maschine, the faces are projected using the project tool then selecting the faces and saving the sketch as dxf file



Now the dxf file is transefered to the laser cutting program connected to the machine which is Rhinos, The design is alligned in a new file as follows



then the design should be having theses spacial dimentions on the priting page for material optimisation purpouses




here we use the layer tool to layer out the design different specs of cutting



Here are the layers of the design



the cutting order of the design according to layers is set to be


Green: Engraving, Red: inner details, Yellow: Outer edges


the parameters of the laser cutting for engraving (MDF Material)


Power:50%, Speed:50% , Frequency: 2500Hz


the parameters of the laser cutting for cutting (MDF Material)


Power:100%, Speed:50% , Frequency: 2500Hz


By running the printing job on the machine , we can see the progress in the following




the final print should look like this
