Re: Robo3687 - IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura FOAM Templates -Easy to Build "Green" Versi
Corel sends hairline cuts as a print file to the laser. So if I can't get it to export from pepakura I'll need to somehow screen capture the file and import it into Corel as a jpeg. Corel has a trace program that I use and I make the out line red and delete the interior. The laser can also do a 3D rendering of sorts if I send it a Photograph it will try and engrave the image on the material. So if I use EVA foam I can get it to melt 1mm into the foam to give it the effect of a dremel tool carving it out. It cuts work time from days to hours. Pretty cool
I cut the gloves out at size and they where about 3 inches across the palm, my palm is 4 inches across. So I'll have to do some re sizing. I got one to fit at 135% of the original Jpeg. I tested some EVA foam on the laser and it cut perfectly. The whole suit could be done, the only thing is the work area is limited to 12"x24"
