Today we will introduce how to use laser to customize and cut your favorite groups. This case is very suitable for beginners who are learning laser cutting and serves as a guide. Laser cutting is an ideal cutting method for customized plastic and laser shell materials. What you need to do is to draw your favorite patterns on the computer. Pattern production must be based on vector pattern materials. Through laser cutting, you can get a very clean and complex design. Through laser cutting, you can customize and cut any text or logo you want. After you design the group, it becomes very easy to copy it to the device software.
Today we will teach you how to make a pattern of a computer case. First, I need a software for making vector graphics, a plexiglass panel, a 1 / 16 inch acrylic plastic and some glue.

First of all, the vector map making software I use is illustrator. You can draw by hand and then convert the vector map. Vector files can create images using lines and shapes based on mathematical expressions. In this way, all artwork in the document is constructed in a way that only describes how vectors should be drawn / cut. This is done so that your image can be read by any machine used for cutting.
1. You should copy the image in case you make a mistake.
2. Adjust the image size as appropriate. This means measuring your situation! (I made a paper sketch, covered the case, and arranged everything in a row)
3. Convert images to black and white (make your software easier to use)
4. Use the tracking function in the software to convert the image into a vector line. Some programs can adjust the sensitivity. (exert sensitivity until desired results are obtained.
5. Decorate your vector art until it is perfect. (delete redundant lines and clean up curves)
