Re: [sudo-discuss] DXF or SVG or? for scanner light fixture mount cutting for book scanner

Thanks hol. Does the SUDO have a machine to cut FR4 from a file? To do that, should I ask for a DXF or SVG file or something else? This is outside of my ken. Can someone else decide that and email me so I can ask for the file - and cut this little piece this week? I can help. Lighting assembly parts and cameras supposed to arrive today. jacques hol(a)gaskill.com wrote: On Mon, Jan 22, 2018 at 10:27 AM, &lt;hol(a)gaskill.com&gt; wrote: > > On 2018-01-20 08:17, jacques revera wrote: > > Which format? > > "Jonathon will send us the design files for the sockets mounting plate > soon as I tell him what format we need to cut it at the SUDO room: DXF or > SVG or something else?" > > I don't know anything about the machinery available at SUDO room or these > kind of file formats. > > On Fri, Jan 19, 2018 at 2:30 PM, robb &lt;sf99er(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > >> good for solar panels 2 >> :) >> >> On Fri, Jan 19, 2018 at 2:28 PM, robb &lt;sf99er(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: >> >>> i think they're on to something w/the double linear fresnel lenses >>> <http://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/10/12/2091/htm> >>> looks like it can hit 2 dimensions uniformly >>> >>> On Fri, Jan 19, 2018 at 1:44 PM, &lt;hol(a)gaskill.com&gt; wrote: >>> >>>> Just looked at the instructions - are we overthinking how to illuminate >>>> a piece of paper?
