Usually what I do is design the stuff in Inventor first and then export the faces into Adobe Illustrator.
On the hack.rit.edu website I have written guides for both inventor and the laser cutter, they should be comprehensive enough to get you most of the way there :-)

I'm a fan of https://sflaser.io/, which is run by a really upstanding guy who does high-quality work and can always use the business.On Tue, Jun 9, 2015 at 4:50 PM, Steve Berl <steveberl@gmail.com> wrote:On Tue, Jun 9, 2015 at 4:33 PM, Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd@gmail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________PatrikI got about halfway through designing the thing in Inkscape, but I've never dealt with designing fasteners for plywood before. Needs to have a wide base so it doesn't tip over, but also needs to be hangable from a wall, so the base may need to be removable.Basically, I found these vases that look just like giant test tubes - long cylinder with a rounded bottom. So now I want to make a giant test tube rack, and have them sitting at our booth with some food color and dry ice, steaming away. Would look awesome!Anyone able to give me a hand?Hi all,I've been meaning to design and laser cut a contraption for our Science Sideshow at the Cal Academy NightLive LIVE event this Thursday evening, but I'm rapidly running out of time.
If I were to order this through Ponoko, I'd probably go with something like their 1/4 inch amber bamboo plywood. Is there any plywood at Sudo? Recommendations for a good place to buy nice plywood?
