 +**How to Laser Cut**
 +
 +1.) Save the view that you would like cut using your Solidworks part and saving it as a .DXF file.
 +
 +2.) Move to the computer next to the laser cutter. Open a new 24 x 12 in file on Adobe Illustrator and place your .DXF file on the sheet.
 +
 +3.) Set the line thickness of your part to .001 in. Set the color of your lines to red for cut, black for raster, and blue to engrave.
 +
 +4.) Print from Adobe Illustrator. Open the UTP application and select appropriate cut settings.
 +
 +5.) Make sure to orient your part so that it cuts in the most space efficient way.
 +
 +6.) Cut the part, watching the laser to make sure it doesn'​t set anything on fire.
