乙烯基切割器就像魔法一样! Imagine a precision blade that can create decals and stickers from rolls of sticky plastic. That’s exactly what a vinyl cutter does. It’s perfect for adding a finished touch to your prototypes, for labeling or creating signs that combine graphics and font.

乙烯基切割机的设计

软件: Adobe Illustrator
兼容的文件类型: .ai
设计注意事项: 最大切割宽度24英寸
材料: Matte and glossy semipermanent vinyl, heat transfer vinyl. 几种颜色选择.

对乙烯基切割机进行设计, use Adobe Illustrator and ensure your artboard size is the size of the vinyl you would like to cut. Most sheets of vinyl have a 15-inch width, with indefinite height.

快速指南

To get you started, here is a PDF guide to preparing files to send to the vinyl cutter.

Once you’re ready to cut, follow part 2.

它是如何工作的

The Epilog Zing Laser Cutter is a “printer” that engraves or cuts computer-designed graphics into wood, 丙烯酸, 纸和纸板.

The lasercutter works by focusing a laser beam to a small point that is directed to cut or engrave your part through a computer-controlled coordinate system.

使用要求

You are welcome to use the lasercutter with a studio design partner during open hours. To use the lasercutter independently, please gain familiarity with lasercutting through open hours, 我们的教程视频, 以及课程参观. 

激光切割机的设计

软件: CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator, Rhino
兼容的文件类型: .cdr, .ai, .dxf
设计注意事项: 12-inch x 24-inch bed size, and can fit material with a thickness up to 7.75 inches for engraving, but can only cut through 1/4" stock material.
材料: Opaque, translucent and colored ⅛-inch 丙烯酸, ⅛-inch wood, paper, brown, grey and white chipboard. It is important that your material is flat! Please test your file and settings before you print your full file to prevent material waste.

被禁止的材料:
乙烯基
聚碳酸酯

聚碳酸酯
聚氯乙烯
苯乙烯
Mirror (mirrored 丙烯酸 sheet is OK if the mirror is face down)

To design a file for the lasercutter, use Adobe Illustrator with the following settings:

  • 24-inch width x 12-inch height artboard
  • Hairline width to vector cut on the lasercutter

Alternately, design in AutoCAD and export your file as .dxf.

You will need to use 平面设计 or Rhino to lasercut your design. We provide 丙烯酸, chipboard and wood for your use. Never put other materials into the lasercutter without consulting with staff, as some materials can permanently damage the lasercutter.

The Glowforge is is a lasercutter that engraves or cuts drawn graphics into wood, 丙烯酸, 纸和纸板.
