  1. Printing on Paperboard / Chipboard & Laser Cutting

    A few of our projects recently required 18pt paperboard POP display boxes for the final retail product. We outsourced to print-and-diecut shops, but the back-and-forth took forever to get the...

    Which printer did you go with? We're looking into dye sub's and the Sawgrass SG800 seems to be most often mentioned. Any opinions good or bad on what you purchased?

    To bring this thread back to current, does anyone have anymore hands on experience with the Muse? For 5 years we ran and sold a business with 3 Epilogs. Now that it's sold, my wife and I decided we...

    Awesome work Bruce.

    Full Spectrum's off the list for me. I sent them a detailed email of our requirements and budget, specifically asking about their "metal cutting laser" for $25K. Their...

    Thanks for all the input. Since posting, I've continued to do some research. We're a small jewelery company, so size and speed are far less important than cost for now. Full Spectrum offers a CO2...

    Laser for metal cutting jewelry

    We currently use a few Epilog lasers to cut acrylic jewelry, and want to move into cutting metal jewelry. Any recommendations on (> $100k) machines for this purpose?

    CO2 with gas, Fiber, YAG????...

    Thanks everyone!!

    Now that I know what term I'm Googling, I'm finally finding what I'm looking for. I just bought the one from macromonster... we'll see if it does the job!

    "Nesting"... Definitely the word I was looking for! I'm hoping someone knows of a plug-in / 3rd party app / something... even if it requires an export/import to get the vectors back into Corel for...
  9. Auto-Arrange Object in CorelDraw X6 for Cutting

    I've seen a PlasmaCam demo where the software can automatically arrange parts to fit them as tight a space as possible for minimum material waste. Is there any such thing for CorelDraw? Looks like...
  10. 2D Engrave direct from CorelDraw to Roland MDX40a (CutStudio perhaps?)

    I've been lasering for years, and just got a Roland MDX40a. Any idea if there's a way to go directly from CorelDraw to the MDX40a without going through the (very out-dated) Dr. Engrave and 3D...
  11. Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

    Never would have thought to look in the plumbing isle... but found most of what I needed at Lowes in the plumbing section. Knowing we'll be relocating in the...
  12. Air Compressor for multiple laser engravers

    We went from one Epilog Helix to three, and looking for suggestions from others with multiple lasers. When running multiple laser engravers, do you tend to use one small (air-brush style) air...

    David, The 75w laser is an older Helix (2006). I ran a large number of tests cuts on it right after receiving it, then cleaned the lens (which were rather dirty) and then continued running test. ...

    Dan, Do you have any recommendations on how to test this? I have the air compressor Epilog gave us, which barely does 5-to-10psi. And one I bought with a regulator for 20-to-30psi (it can do more,...

    Thanks John, tried the "read the manual" thing... didn't work ;)

    Settings for a 75w Epilog Helix

    We just moved from a 30w Helix 24 to a 75w Helix 24. On the 30w we used 8 speed/100 power to cut 3/16" acrylic, and 12 speed/100 power to cut 1/8" acrylic. Both at 5000hz. 99% of the time there is...

    I definitely got an slew on interesting and even controversial responses. To follow-up with the response from Epilog, they do have a 220v power cable available to the tune of $70 which I would be...

    Mike,
    Swapping out the breaker makes good sense (if in fact I'm able to plug into that 220), for the sake of protecting the laser. As far as the auto-sensing power supply, straight from Epilog's...
  19. Plug a 70w Helix 24 into my 'welding outlet' (220 on 50amp breaker)

    I don't know much of anything about electricity, so I appreciate any suggestions. Today my 70w Helix 24 is coming in. I'm already running a 30w Helix 24 and 30w Zing 16 in my garage. Add that to...
