Laguna Laser Work

Laser cutting is often employed in the metalworking industry to cut metal into desired shapes. Some common products that are produced are: beams, columns, pipes, tubing, and sheet metal. These products can be used in a variety of industries, such as construction, automotive, and aerospace.

First Token

This token was a small 40 millimeter by 40 millimeter circle with some words and an image printed. For this project, there was originally my name on the bottom, however, when cutting the wrong file was downloaded. This file was an earlier design without the name, and the token was printed without my name. The earlier file was unable to be found again.

This is a video of the first project cut out by me on the Laguna Laser. Unfortunately, due to technical issues, the recording is only in portrait layout.

This image is in the program VCarve. VCarve is used to design the model that will be used in RDWorks. After the design is completed, it is saved as a DXF file to be opened in RDWorks.

This is an image of the token, before uploading, in RDworks. RDworks is used to create toolpaths for the Laguna Laser. After the file and toolpath have been correctly created, the file will be downloaded as a .rd file to upload to the laser.

Here is an image of the design, ready to be cut. Before cutting, the design has to be flipped, but in the image it is normal to see the design.

Above is an image of the final project, although, as seen in the photo, one of the letters broke apart due to the thinness of the letters.
