Show transcript
Laser cutters use concentrated beams of light to cut or engrave materials, requiring precise vector files. Designs must be lowered through the Tinkercad workplane before exporting. Laser cutters must be used with extraction systems to remove harmful fumes and ensure safety. Efficient use of materials can be achieved through tessellation, which reduces waste by tightly arranging shapes.
