Hey All
I just want to share a little bit about my job. I work for a big company that makes high powered lasers. The things you can do with them are almost endless. I would let you know that there used in metal manufacturing, and can keep a respectful .005 tolerance, (depending on metal thickness, type, geometry etc...) and have no secondary deburr process. I would like to show you some of the things I have created with it. You can make some really cool artwork with it as well. It takes Dxf files or Dwg files, (Any drawing software mostly Autocad) and converts it into Machine code, (cnc) I could work a deal with someone for hunting places or trade my services for game meat. If you wanted you could draw something, (A light background with dark geometry) and scan it, then I could trace it out and cut it on a laser. Artwork takes time though,( alot of tracing then exploding of the geometry). I could also get dimensions from you and cut somrthing of a flat pattern, Our lasers will cut up to 1/2 " Stainless or 1" Mild Steel. Tolerances will be bigger on thicker material. I don't like cutting plastics, due to toxic fumes emmited from the heat. I live in Orange County, and if you knew of a place were you can shoot coyotes that would be great! I would be willing to drive 3.5 hrs. I have a gps and you could give me lat/lon cordinates. I would love to have the time to drive around a scout out places, but I travel a bunch, and alot of my time is taken up. Let me know what you think. Like I said the thing you can do are almost endless with a laser.
Here are some pict
