That's very interesting. I had thought the smaller home shop lasers were generally for cutting perspex and thin plywood, rather than mylar sheet. Can your laser software import a DXF? If so I can send you a DXF of a test tape (in 15" segments) if you are interested, I would very much like to see the result. Steve.
