When you first get your own CNC or laser cutting machine, it can be hard to think of what you want to do first. If you are a beginner, you can make something like a coaster or a bookmark to help give you the experience you need to become more comfortable with the machine. Once you get some experience, you can make something like a puzzle to impress your friends and you might even impress yourself.
Key Takeaways:
- You can use a design you thought up and put it in CAD
- A lot of file formats are good to go with other software programs.
- Some may be used for personally use only, not commercially.
“The designs are drawn manually in 2D cad programs. This is why they are smooth. You can craft perfect objects in cutting machines by cutting materials such as wood, metal, acrylic, and cardboard. You can paint them in the colors you like.”
