Needed Laser Cutter Resources Corel Draw

[round2it]

Hi we have a Mercury Laser cutter which i am trying to get to grips with i have a endless collection of key fobs now

 

I was wondering if anyone has any templates\resources you could share with us.

 

Anything on safety/usage for staff and pupils as our D&T department are scared to use it so its left down to the IT guys to teach them how to use it.

 

we are using corel draw 11 and x4 to design our projects so if you have any templates that you would be willing to share

or any web sites that have resources available.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks

We have a laser cutter of some description in our Technology Department.

 

We are also using CorelDraw [what a nightmare to setup on the network!]

 

I will try to find out what resources we have tomorrow [not my department and I may have to ask for a favour or two...]

 

I will try to remember to get back to you tomorrow and let you know what I have found.

that would be great

 

Thanks for that

 

Maybe i can cut you a key fob

I have searched the network and have not found anything akin to a template. I will ask the staff who run the cutter what they use for templates. Get back to you soon.

I've got a mental image of round2it sat in a room full of different coloured key fobs..

I just need to use my imagination really but templates are a good place to start ,

I heard rumours that the one [laser cutter] at the school I attended could take imports directly from Auto-cad or Inventor but I'm not that type of person so I never did ITD/Manual Arts thus I can't be certain if its true.

if any D&T departments would like to donate any guides or turorials or even templates that they use in lessons that would be fantastic.

 

 

we are starting from scratch here 22 grands worth of equipment just sat in a corner of a room is not good.

 

 

thanks to all who have replied to my scrounging post.

I think that is all schools make with them, I was shown how it worked and got a key fob for my Car Key which is great

 

We have just taken delivery of one before half term so be interested to see what goodies turn up here, we just use 2D Design for it so I'm told.

 

I like the key fobs though means I can stop loosing the silly bits of paper out of mine in the key safe and make some in perspex instead

When i get ours sorted out i will post any thing that might be of use to others.
