  • The software of my machie doesn't have an option to read PDF files. Try to find a converter with ability to convert PDF to DXF.

    Regards.

  • It can cut even more than 6mm, but it makes a lot of soot on the cutted side. The maximum plywood I cutted with it is 6mm poplar or 4mm birch.

  • I can't recommernd you things like this, I'm not a manufacturer, I just like to design my planes by my self. So I bought a laser cut machine instead of 100CC plane. But if you really want one like this, don't buy chinese, buy one more expensive, but from seller with support department.

  • It's 60W laser

  • how power this laser ?

  • what do you mean, is it good or bad, or principally?

  • @04DCN Try Inkscape for extracting vector data from a PDF, then export from Inkscape as DXF using one of several available plug-ins, all free software and available for Linux and Windows. Some manual cleanup and scaling of DXF in AutoCAD or program of your choice will probably be necessary, but at least the basic geometries will be there. Caution: Some graphics in PDF files are raster, not vector, and useless for this purpose.

  • from where did you buy your machine and how much?

  • @yhobby can i use green laser light ? will it work on balsa?

    

  • Do you know any good program that can convert from PDF to DXF or what do you use to convert PDF to DXF? I have tried some of convert program but the result were very poor. Thanks. Phil.

  • How to I cut plywood from PDF format?
