Hello, today i had a new idea. I am working on a project and thought to use the versalaser 2.30 at my work to cut some acrylic sheets(5mm) for the case of my robot. Is it possible to send the print outline from solidworks or should i try to make a dxf/eps file and send it through the corel process? ...

Thank you for the images, i will try it out and post the results. What for predefined material settings should i use?



PS: The black and white image i gave is the end result, for printing i need to invert the colors.

PS2 What alternative to quickcam 2d could i use(not corel).

Great, so what software do i need for this? If i load a png or jpg file would it convert black to vector and preparing it for cutting? What is the difference between vector cutting and vector marking? here https://www.denford.ltd.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=46&Itemid=51 is what i wi...

I am rastering it. If i change the color to red and i am vectoring it, would it be better? A HPDFO lense is pricey.

I do not use EagleCAD for printing the image. I export it as a PNG, than put it in Corel Draw and after that i print it. I do not get any feedback if i change the line thickness, it doesn't matter how thick the gap between the lines is, the laser always prints the same distance. If i import the pict...

To get a good result i need to go to corel and use trace-> technical drawing. Still it is not what i want. If i print the png from eagle cad, it does not matter how thin i make the black lines, they still are printed as thick lines. How can i influence the thickness of the lines?

Finally i got a almost satisfying end result. To get it i can not use the eagle png file. I needed to do a trace in corel x4 to obtain thin lines that were than lasered. Can i use gerber files as the printing layout? Would that be better?

i am thinking about painting the cooper black with a marker. I don't remove all the cooper, i use a bottom layer as ground. The laser needs to remove the part between the gnd signal and the other signal. ~1/8 inch.

It is more convenient for me to spray paint on a pcb and then remove the paint from it with the laser and etch it afterwards. PCB's with photo-resist are a bit pricey too. Using the method with the iron: what if my design is bigger then the surface of the iron, a part of the design stays cold the ot...

Today i tried it out. I put some spray paint on a pcb and put it under the laser. Here we have the problem, the laser does not remove ALL the paint. So, if i put it afterwards in the etch solution, it does not remove all the cooper it should. There is a thin paint film on the cooper(remained because...

Thanks for the answers. Today i finally did something with the laser, i wrote some text on a paper. I went from the materials settings to manual settings(this way i do not need 3 colors). i have only red, blue, black and some gray gradients in corel. I will study the diference between them.

Hello, today i wanted to try the Versalaser 2.30. I thought that i should try burn something to a paper. I've tried but did not succeed. I have set the right size in Corel X4, the right material in versalaser software. Tried with raster +50% or vector engraving, or cutting but nothing happend. What ...

Hy everybody, i'm new to the forum and the laser operations. I have an Versalaser 230 with an 30W laser at work. I would like to know if i can engrave/get rid of an layer of cooper on an pcb. I have the layout in corel and what needs to go away is red the rest white. The cooper layer is lets say thi...
