All,
Curious what / how do you.
As an example.: Cutting foam. to fit a gun or camera equipment. (Again just an example)
I have the case. I have the foam and parts to be fitted.
whats would be your best advice for creating the cut file. in the past I have scanned the parts.(at least the best I can some parts just cant be scanned)
then in photoshop or similar I create a drawing that follows the path I want cut. usually ending up with a DXF file.
This method usually takes forever. any others? how do you?
Fwiw. the cut files I end up with are pretty complex shapes. not simple squares and circles. so drawing them on the fly isnt really an option.
again the above is just an example but in the past for foam I usually just hot wire the inserts. so just to give one example fo my hotwiring, see the link to one past project. I hand draw the lines and mod them as I deem necessary.
then I cut out the part from heave stock. then I hot wire cut them. wouldnt this be nice If I could just use the laser?
TIA.
Sam
