Converting your file to CorelDraw

  1. If your file is already in CorelDraw format, skip this section.
  2. If your file is not in a CorelDraw format, open your drawing (we used Solidworks) and make sure it shows the part and lines you're cutting, and nothing else. Delete any lines and elements you don't want cut, such as through-hole indicators.
  3. Make sure your drawing can fit within your laser cutter. At the MSI, the laser cutter can take material up to 12"x24".
  4. Save the Solidworks drawing as a .dwg file. (File > Save As > Save as type: ".dwg")
  5. Place the file on a thumbdrive and transfer it to the computer you will be printing your part from.
