Create material calibration file for laser cutter #9

Closed paulr4 closed 8 years ago

paulr4 commented 8 years ago

Create a simple file using the laser cutter software, to allow new materials to be tested with a range of cutting parameters.

It should burn a test pattern including lines at a number of power settings and feed rates, labelled with their cutting parameters. For each new material we buy, a small sample could be cut using the file, as a visual guide to help decide the most appropriate settings for that material.

How is a file created?

On the Lasercut software, on the laser cutter's laptop. I've actually done this task, I'll mark it as closed.
