CO2 CNC Lasers work by basically bouncing light emissions back and forth between mirrors until the beam is strong enough to pass through a partially transparent mirror at the tip of the router head. Going a little more in depth, the mixture of Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Helium, and Nitrogen is what allows the process of population inversion to occur once an electrical current is added to it. The key to the formation of the laser beam is in the Nitrogen atoms though, since Nitrogen is able to maintain an excited state for longer than other elements. Once the Nitrogen comes into contact with cold helium atoms, photons (light) are released.
MakerCase is a web-based application for designing boxes or project cases for laser cutters and CNC routers.
MakerCase runs in a web browser and automatically generates a blueprint for cutting based on user specifications. The user enters the desired box dimensions and material thickness, and MakerCase automatically generates a three-dimensional model of the box that can be freely rotated.
MakerCase lets users create boxes with flat edges or interlocking edges using finger joints. MakerCase can also generate open and closed boxes.
When the box design is complete, the MakerCase flattens the three-dimensional model into blueprint and generates an SVG or DXF file that can be sent directly to a laser cutter or CNC router. For cutting, MakerCase can compensate for the kerf or laser bea
