Re: Lasering Resins

Just had a reply to an email from East Coast. Unfortunately he wasn't sure about the resins, but did say this about the CF.

Lasering Resins

Does anyone know what ingredients are in Resins that make them nasty to laser? I want to make some Carbon Fibre Sheet for lasering and as I apply the resin I can choose something safe based on the ingredients.

Re: AutoCAD - Tracing?

Thanks Chaps. I have a copy of all the AutoCAD 2012 software on a three year licence ;) The joys of long distance learning for the job and being able to obtain an NUS card :mrgreen: I don't mind a lot of editing and output.
