Paper laser cutting?

[fatso]

Well I am totally blown away outstanding skills.mike

Unfortunately, unless you can supply the digital file that the original kit was created with, then a laser will be of no use to you.

Laser cutters require an original digital file to follow to guide the laser head over the material you want cutting.  Someone would have to re-draw all the parts of your kit into a program and then ensure that your uncut card kit is exactly located on the cutting bed for the laser to follow the program.

The opportunities for an almighty balls-up are legion..................

Sorry...

That's a shame.  A few years ago I got £8,000's worth of table-top rotary cutter and mini-CNC mill going for my workplace which nobody could work-out.  All the instructions we had were for the laser cutter, not the rotary version.  I got the CNC cutter working fine, it would have been SO MUCH easier though if it were a laser cutter!!!!!!!  The rigmarole of importing files and tracing over cut paths a-la CAD-CAM would have been so much easier if it were laser and able to convert input images.  But I make that statement not having a laser cutter!

No worries Mike - only too glad to help out.

Found it quite therapeutic actually..... Although I doubt I would want to do it for a living!
