Hey Guys,
New here
I have a 50W CO2 laser on the way.
I will be cutting mostly 2-4mm acrylic (just simple squares) for my business (building boxes) and would like to have a super easy software that lets me draw rectangles and set their size in millimeters.
Do I need two softwares like in 3D printing? one for the design and one for setting the profile (material, thickness etc)?
Also, for the fun of it, I would like to know how to engrave on acrylic.
Is there a software that prepares photos for that? like turning them black and white, changing the contrast or something like that? I think I saw something like that in my google searches...
Also, will I know easily how to let the machine know what to cut and what to engrave if I just design some simple text? for example engrave the text and then cut a rectangle around it.
Thanks
