Spitfire Hanging on my Garage Door

2D .DXF files are never very large – even for complex drawings – prob only a couple of meg or so….

Yes that’s right.

But when you make the laser cutting program, the program is very much larger and the machine controller. Can only read so much information……….

Slightly off topic ..but it does have wings.

Here is Rebecca Shipton’s paper cut from 1807. That is nearly 100 years before the Wrights took to the air.

Can you image a 74 year old women cutting this out of a piece of paper with just, one imagines, a cut throat razor?

This is one of pair my father bought for a few shillings in the 1950’s.

Nice work! How large is your drawing (100Mb++)? And what software do you use?
You must have a 3D drawing as well with this as a projection?

Very nice indeed.

Is easy but time consuming to program..Insert bitmap and trace over with CAD lines..Ours is Waterjet cut..Polished or painted 🙂

Hello

I also did one where the detail was engraved on the spitfire!

Difficult to photograph.

Was Drawn in Autocad in 2D, as I trained as a Technical Illustrator. Sigmanest Laser cutting Software.

Beautiful….I’d buy one
