For 3D Printing: I imported the file with extension .stl into the Ultimaker Cura and started to check the scale and orientation of my project then I sliced my project to preview the following parameters:
For 3D Printing: I imported the file with extension .stl into the Ultimaker Cura and started to check the scale and orientation of my project then I sliced my project to preview the following parameters:
Time of printing: 21 minutes
The number of grams: 3g
Layer height: 0.2mm
Infill: 20%
After that, I saved the file with extension .gcode to be ready for printing.
For laser cutting: I imported the file with extension .dxf into the RDWorks program and selected the parts that will be cut and parts that will be engraved then I selected the layer parameters according to the following factors:
Processing mode: (cutting or scanning)
Speed of cutting/scanning.
Power of cutting/scanning.
Finally, I saved the file with extension .rld to be ready for cutting.
