We had a blast!
What an amazing time we all had last week with Adrian and James from Atec Engineering!
Some technical issues on the computer-based drawings lead to a last minute decision being made to cut our projects on a laser cutter rather than the water-jet. It was a slower process but it got the job done.
Everyone was amazed that light — just light — could cut through wood and plastic! We found that we needed to make 2-3 passes to cut all the way through — it's only a 50W laser — but it certainly did the job. The cut is around a tenth of a millimeter across so incredibly accurate!
Most of the projects were cut in 3.6mm plywood. Two were cut in plastic — one in opaque black and one in clear. They'll look amazing when put together.

It's time.

Our stereo amplifier projects are moving from cardboard mockup to computer based drawings to wood — cut on the incredible water-jet cutter at Atec Engineering. It's very exciting.
