STATE OF THE ART 3D SCALE MODEL
Laser Cutting Services

HTS Advanced Solutions offers state-of-the-art Laser Cutting Services to the general public. This process can quickly turn your drawings into laser-cut parts from some materials and greatly reduce the time normally needed to cut by hand or by pen plotter.

A wide range of materials can be cut and engraved using the laser cutter. Contact us with your requirements at info@hts-3d.com or call us at (833) 273 6833

HTS offers Laser Cutting Services for the following materials:

  •  Acrylic up to ½” thickness, flat or cylindrical
  • Solid Wood – thickness varies by type
  • Card stock/paper
  • Some films and fabrics
  • Glass and Granite can be etched but not cut

Laser Cutting Drawings Guidelines

Please use the steps below for information and advice to submit your drawings. Be sure to include your name and contact information, so we can follow up with pricing and a delivery schedule.

  • Draw all parts with ordinary lines or polylines set to .001” width
  • If using AutoCAD, make sure your drawing is set to the world coordinate system (WCS) and that all parts are drawn flat to the X, Y plane.
  • Purge all unused layers and blocks
  • Scale drawing to the desired size
  • Set units to 4 decimal places
  • Space between cut lines should be no less than the material thickness. Contact us for exceptions.
  • Group parts from the same material on sheets no larger than 32″ x 18″ for the Universal Laser and 36” x 24” for the Epilog Laser. Keep your parts at least 1/8” from the edge of the material
  • Label each sheet with the material and thickness desired
  • Pack parts with a spacing of no less than 1/8″

Create layers in the following manner:

  • If the layer is to have cut lines – name the layer “cut”.
  • If the layer is to have score lines – name the layer “score”
  • More than one layer for each type of line can be created by adding a number designation: cut1, cut2, score1, score2, etc. This can be an effective way to control the order in which specific lines are processed.
  • Please send files in DWG or DXF file formats. Contact us for optional file formats we can accept

NOTE: Make sure there are no duplicate or overlapping lines (this will cause the laser to cut in the same place multiple times and will yield an undesirable result).

Our dedicated, professional model makers use the oldest crafting skills & newest state-of-the-art techniques to create realistic, accurate, to-scale 3D custom models.

We are proud of the detailed 3D models we’ve created and the excellent reputation we’ve developed with our customers. Contact us at info@hts-3d.com or call us (833) 273 6833 . Check out HTS  Model Making Services
