The Thing

If you think that laser cutting is a doodle, think again. Firstly you have to prepare the original art work. It has to translate for CAD which means an export to DXF or other not-so-much-fun vector formats. Software that drives the laser cutter might not like your drawing anyway. Which means some hard and lengthy labor redrafting every each little hands, without bazier curves (don't ask) to dots. But than it turns out that the ol'machine closes open points 'cause it doesn't like the open ends. Great now you have a whole load-of-mess on the screen. Back to drawing, again! Test it! Draw it again! Test it! Draw it again!...for goodness'sake! At the edge of madness came the relief in a shape of a Techsoft man and his trusty machinery. A new laser cutter, smaller, nimbler, easier and most of all user friendlier. It takes 10 minutes to master, works with ANYthing you throw at it as long as you can import it into 2D Designer. Which is the cutest (and mean it) technical drafting software I have ever seen. It works! (as the picture shows above), with stellar result! Thanks Mr Tim! I couldn't have done it without you!
