   Got it about the Trumpf! Of course we are reviewing every single design and approve/decline designs. We don't want unhappy reviews for sure but the "post-production editing" stuff we do saves the common gotchas of laser

   Others suggested this too! Wouldn't do this without permission, so assuming that we launched today and first orders will start shipping Wednesday - maybe by next week we can have some designs featured!

   That's a great idea! We can sure do this quickly.

   Yeap - It would be really nice to be this way but developing such a feature like "auto-quoting" would really increase the costs. It might be a little bit counter-intuitive at the moment, but hopefully we'll be developing this

   Thanks! Unfortunately no, at least for the moment.

   :) I think a couple of other stuff we do are good too. Like turnaround times and trust me, the quality is great too...

   No plugins at all. Just open DOCUMENT INFO palette, select object from the drop down and select your paths. The path length will be shown on that palette.

    The Mazaks we have don't have this option but the engraving one does have something similar. You raise a huge point here: industrial vs consumer. There are so many things that consumer-level clients won't be satisfied with.

    Thanks! We hope that we do. Can you send us an email at hello@lasergist.com so we can discuss further for the estimator?

    Hi Johansch, Your comments and experience are very appreciated. As another user pointed this out too, we'll prepare a small example list to be easier to understand pricing. We are practically focusing on quality but we are doing our be

    We'll probably make some on our own as we don't feel comfortably sharing clients' designs without approval. For those however that do want to share their parts' photos we provide discount for their next order.

    Well the engraving tolerance is actually placement tolerance and it's a little bit exaggerated. We have seen so complex parts that it's impossible to have it engraved perfectly. Normally, we overlay the actual product outline incl

    Allow me to say that 3mm thick stainless steel is a great thickness for tons of really heavy duty applications. Thicker is an option, and we regularly do cut up to 6mm but we do this only for custom orders as this would really make handling

    Thanks Tom! 1) This is what another user commented too - having some examples - we'll definitely create a few asap. And regarding the auto-estimation, developing an automated cost-estimating thing would really raise our costs. Let&#x27

    That's one, and most importantly, developing this kind of feature "auto-quoting" would raise our costs, and in turn the price. Hopefully, with more orders coming in, we will develop this too. Appreciate the feedback though!

    Thank you russnewcomer! Trumpf are great, based on our experience (~10 years owning and operating several lasers) Mazak have proven to be really reliable and really low-cost in operating kW + maintenance. That's why we kept the Mazaks.

    Of course it is - just like codepen.io, Adobe Brackets and tons of other online and offline similar tools. Codemirror is usually the best choice when you want to do anything related to syntax highlighting. The only difference of codeiac com
