[KwartzLab] Cad software for laser cutter?

[doug moen]

I personally use Inkscape. It's easy to use and open source. I had to
work through some challenges to figure out the right way to export to
DXF, but I think I've resolved those now, and I've documented my
process.

Non-members cannot directly use the laser, but they can work with a
member with laser training to get stuff cut, and should make a
donation to Kwartzlab for laser time. The suggested donation is $1 per
minute.
