I have two 3mm plates that I want to join together like in the attached photo. I want to convert this 3D design into a 2D file for laser cutting.</P><P>I have a few questions:</P><OL><LI><P><STRONG>Perpendicular Cutting</STRONG>: When cutting perpendicularly to the surface, is it correct to assume that the angle for the joint won't be considered?</P></LI><LI><P><STRONG>3D to 2D Modeling</STRONG>: Are there specific 3D modeling techniques that make it easier to create angled joints when converting the design to 2D?</P></LI><LI><P><STRONG>Angle in Cutting</STRONG>: Is there any way to account for the angle of the joint when converting from a 3D model to a 2D file so that the laser cut is accurate?</P></LI></OL><P>I'd really appreciate any tips or advice you can give.</P><P>Thanks!</P> Wed, 19 Jun 2024 14:53:06 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/converting-3d-design-to-2d-for-accurate-laser-cutting/m-p/12849547#M17835 arlyngton_steven_ramon 2024-06-19T14:53:06Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/converting-3d-design-to-2d-for-accurate-laser-cutting/m-p/12849603#M17836 <P>Hi,</P> <P>Ask your 3D laser cutting provider what data they need.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Günther</P> Wed, 19 Jun 2024 15:20:39 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/converting-3d-design-to-2d-for-accurate-laser-cutting/m-p/12849603#M17836 g-andresen 2024-06-19T15:20:39Z
