I managed to book an appointment at the laser cutter (which isn’t easy this time of year)!  I’ve drawn up all the blueprints in Illustrator with 0.001 line strokes colored with 100% blue from the RBG color scale.  This way the laser will read it and know it has to cut through those places (if you use the wrong color it won’t set the laser’s power strong enough).  I went to my appointment and had a very easy time with everything.  I wish I had tried using this technology sooner.  It saves SO much time.  All of my pieces are cut and I will assemble them into coffins later.
