Laser-Cut Keychain
If you want to make make something using the laser cutter, you need to use Adobe Illustrator. When making a new document, you should change the measurement from Pixels to Inches and Color Mode to RGB Color. Adjust the width and the height of work space to the dimensions you have to work with (Laser Cutter has a max width of 32" and a height of 18"). You can insert any lines or pictures in black to engrave them, or insert any lines in red to cut the material. To make my keychain, I inserted cool designs in black to be engraved in the acrylic. I Made a box around the print to make the laser cut through the acrylic.
