Hi,

I've been using a CO2 laser engraver/cutter since 2002 and have created a tips and techniques document on what I've learned (and wish I knew before). I'd like to share it. It's really a work-in-progress. I work at Microsoft Research Hardware Lab where our two lasers get more use than a screwdriver.

The document is attached.

It describes methods for precision bending thermal plastic, welding, creating smooth beveled edges and much more.

Hope you find it useful.
