How I Design for Laser Cutting // My CAD Workflow

Free cut files and guide from my website:

Today I'll take you through my workflow when designing an object for Laser Cutting.

If you'd like to know more about building your own Laser Cutter, I've got a whole series on it that you can check out:

Nice to see people interested in community not just the money. Thank you for your time and effort.

That was wild - and what a beautiful end result! Thanks for sharing your process and for making the design files available!

You really get that Weta Workshop vibes, high technicality and craftsmanship, you're talented it's beautiful

Very impressive. Looks beautiful. I’m going to give it a try. Thank you for putting that out there for people to try.

Great job.
I always start my design process in SolidWorks. Set up the right material thickness from the beginning, but makes the holes slightly oversized. Then I use Deepnest for nesting and then Lightburn communicates with the laser. Thanks for charing.

Great job Rob. I'll give this one a try when I eventually finish my laser cutter build. From the plans I purchased from you of course 👍

Really appreciate you bro. I'm starting a new laser cutting business, and I need all the I help I can get. Your videos are a blessing

I've literally just designed a lantern for laser cutting from steel. Ryno looks very similar to SketchUp which is what I use. You've done a great job and love your machine too. Well done.

That is an amazing lamp and very good cad design as well. Thanks for sharing!! I need to step up my CAD game for sure... it's a limitation for these types of projects.
