Setting Up Fabrication Drawings for Laser Cutting Guidelines

The guideline belongs to:
Laser Cutter Guidellines
Digital Fabrication Laboratory, Faculty of Building & Planning, University of Melbourne

I got this link from a friend who studied at University of Melbourne. I was telling him that it is sad that many students can't do laser cutting just because they have no idea how to compose their artwork or drawings for the laser cutter, so he shared this link which I find very simple, informative and easy to follow. Hope the link will help you in setting up drawing submission for laser cutting machine.

HOPEFULLY MORE WILL BE BENEFITED USING THIS INSTRUCTIONS. 
THANKS AGAIN!
