[Acrylic Modding Service] Laser raster engraving and vector cutting

[SFFMadness]

thx bro but i need them to be in coreldraw format before can cut

Bro,

What I suggest is that you have a ready made template. Anyone keen, can just give you a sketch of their design. Then you make it in coreldraw format and show him the final design. If OK with customer, then can cut liao. This way it will be easier for the customer.

80, 92 and 120 are the diameters for the circles/holes, the squares? any exact dimensions or can agar agar? the screw holes/black dots, how big does it need to be? 2mm or 3mm? agar?

i think what nicholaslee do is just the labour work, don't care about design, if have to do e design or re-design(if customer don't like it), then the price won't be cheap.

design and pass to nicholas then resale at any mod forums, bro. you get e idea?

Currently he just do labor work. Just a suggestion that maybe he want to do the whole package.

Actually last yr i considered buying one of those machines to do etching and custom fan grills but the machine is way too expensive. There was 2 companies providing this service but their prices were astronomical and they closed down liao as you will need etches in the thousands to just pay for the cost of the machine itself, not taking into consideration that there might be parts which will break down and need replacement.

$40k divide by $15 an etch = 2667 etch. You think I will be able to pay for the machine in 10yrs?

I think I am out of my mind

OT OT!!!

 

[starlet]

OT OT!!!

Nich - is there anyway for us to give you the drawing/photo in other format like powerpoint/words/microsoft photo editor etc and from there transfer to CorelDraw. I don't think alot of people here have CorelDraw software and this is preventing them from going to your place for this service. BTW sorry what does OT mean?

 

[SFFMadness]

OT = Off Topic

Nicholas ..... soory about that

 

[rapier]

If only doing etching, just give a greyscale actual size drawing should be ok. If doing very complicated cutting, then adobe illustrator vector drawing is still ok as CorelDraw can 'open/import' the original file.

The machine, depending on the brand, table size, laser wattage etc, should be ard S$20K+ onward.
