[sudo-discuss] help with laser cutting (& design) ?

[Adam Munich]

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 :-)

Cheers,
