Once I had it the way I thought would be best, I then exported that to Autodesk to slice up the model into intermeshing sheets.<\/p>\n<p>The slices then had to be exported to a PDF, since that was the best way to get to the next step; Inkscape. After importing each page of the PDF into Inkscape, as a new document, I was able to manipulate the actual paths of the slices. This let me label each piece, and lay them out onto documents that were sized for my specific laser bed.<\/p>\n<p>Only after each of those steps were completed, was I able to cut the pieces and put them together&#8230; only to find out that I cut the slices to small.
