LaserUser.com Forum (formerly RDWorksLab)

Hi Everyone,
My name is Michael and I just opened my new Chinese laser today. I should have all the updates and the laser running soon. They claim it's a 50w but, according to Russ, it probably is only a 40w. Was disappointed to see the table positioning is manual and not electric.
I bought it to add laser engraving and many other items to our store that I own with my Son. We are new to this but, I am investing into the time of Russ's videos and I hope to learn from all of you.The software has a lot of similarity and tools that our sign software uses, this should help me get to know it faster. Thank you for reading and allowing me into this forum!
Thanks, Michael Frennier

Welcome Michael - best wishes on you new endeavor.
I recommend you continue to design in the software you are familar with to the extent your desings will allow and export the file as a "*.ai".
*.ai will import pretty seemlessly in to RDWORKS. if you use DXF formats it sometime has issue with size remaining consistant.

Thank you for the pointer and I look forward to posting our designs and creations!
