In engineering class we are making a checker board to play checkers using the checkers we casted and molded and the board we created through Inkscape. The board I made had the dimensions of 18 in by 18 in, in order to have 64 2 in squares for the checkers for an 8 by 8 in checkered board. I created a square 18 in by 18 inches in order to have an edge of 1 inch around the board. To cut the checker board out from the larger piece of cardboard, I had to create a square around the perimeter of the board and set it to .001 in order for the laser cutter to cut through the cardboard. For the squares I had to place a square every other two inches and set it to a setting greater than .001 in order for it to raster. The larger the number the darker the raster is going to be. Then I downloaded the checker board as a pdf and and svg and was able to laser cut my check board.
