This is the very basic process for cutting imported art on the ACE Laser.
- Lasersoft accepts many file tips but likes simple SVG and DXF files best
- See Laser Troubleshooting or FAQ if your files will not import
Process
- Set the parameters for your workspace. i.e. To set relative origin point – Click “Parameters”, then “Workspace”
- Set Platform -> Relative Position setting for how you want the laser to cut relative to your material.
- Import shapes/graphics
- Optional: Unite lines (check box on import or highlight your object and press Close Shape in the software menu), then run a data check correcting errors if needed by pressing Data Detection in the software menu.
- Assign your files to layers by color (or import them that way) and apply your power and speed settings
- You can run simulations to see how it will cut
- Download the program to the laser: Click ‘Download’, then ‘Download’ again.
- Make sure the work count is set to 1 and there is no delay.
- Position laser head over your material where you want to start cutting.
- Press “origin” button on the laser.
- Confirm material/cut position- Click the ‘Run Box’ command — this will move the laser in a rectangle around the area it will operate, without turning on the laser.
- Start the cut– Press Play on the laser!
- DO NOT LEAVE THE LASER WHILE IT’S CUTTING.
