ILLUSTRATOR IS A PROGRAM THAT WE CAN MAKE SIMPLE TO COMPLEX DRAWING. THE PROGRAM IS SIMPLE TO USE (if you have used Photoshop). NOT ONLY CAN YOU MAKE VECTOR DRAWING. WE WILL USE THROUGH OUT THE YEAR TO MAKE DRAWING FOR THE LASER. THIS GUIDE I MADE A KEY CHAIN.
My laser drawing
start by opening Illustrator. Then click create new.
Now make sure your setting are the same as mine. Then click create.
Now make a square with the square tool then set the line color to red and the line thickness to .0001 in with the control bar. Red tells the laser to cut.
Now you are ready for the laser
Open the file with ILLUSTRATOR then click print then open the ucp then turn on the laser. Then move your picture to the spot. last hit the start button
now the Vinyl cutter
This was done in a demo so i did not get to do good screenshots.
First we need to make a file any line that is drawn will be cut. Then click print after loading the Vinyl and it will start to cut.
The Vinyl cutter cutting
Once we have the cut peace of vinyl we can apply it the next steps will show you how.
Start by removing the extra vinyl that you don't want to be applied.
Now apply transfer tape to the Vinyl
Then slowly peal off the bottom peace of the paper.
Now flip it over on the idem you want it to be applied to line it up then put it on.
Finally pull of the transfer tape being careful not to remove the Vinyl (the Vinyl should stay stuck the the idem.)
And we are done.
What did we learn?
We learned how to use the laser and Vinyl cutter. We also learned how to use illustrator. Both were easier to use than i though I had fun and learned about how to use things that will help me pass the class. Also we got to make thing that would be hard to make otherwise.
