If you are using CorelDraw,I've found that 3x2.365 with a corner radius of 31(my version of Corel,for some reason uses whole numbers instead of decimals) works pretty well,but that was for 1/4 inch acrylic.
I've done engrave stock that's .06 inches thick,and I've used a size of 2.35x2.95 with
In AI,I used .3 for the corners,but I think it should be closer to .325. I will have to find my measurements again. |
Coreldraw and AI were dope back in high school, our engineering teacher gave us free reign with the laser cutting table and it taught us alot, the same went for the 3d printers. Most school today don't do that I believe.
