Stevos758 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Looking to start my pit soon. I found a local place to cut my acrylic panels but they need some cad or solid works files. Does anyone have them they could share with me? Facebook Ripp's Garage Tech LLC

metalnwood Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Are you specifying the method you want the panels done to the company doing the cutting/engraving? If not do you know what materials they plan on using? You can see on the forums how people have done different things with the laser from painting acrylic and then engraving on the paint and removing it to using specialised materials that were developed for laser engraving. Just be aware that between you and the guy with the laser who may not have done this particular thing before there may be a few attempts to get it right, which is time and money for him. The other things to remember is if you want to have backlighting. If so the materials and plans may be different than your supplier expected or the plans you can acquire. Anyway, part of the point os that there are a few things to be aware of that are easily overlooked until the job is done and you find the panels are not meeting your expectations. If you want some pictures of parts to show your guy then pm me and I can help out so its easier to explain to him pictorially what you need done.
