![]() That way I can find the minimum bend radius for that material. ![]() I want to keep moving down, to smaller and smaller radiuses until I sense that the material is being stressed to go around that curve. If I move down to 29 mm, I can still make that bend, so that is a useable radius in my design. Here I’ve made some radiuses in Fusion and then printed them out so I can test the bend radiuses of these different cut patterns.įor example, if I get a 3 mm cut pattern, and Iay it down on the 30 mm radius, it bends all the way 90 degrees, so I could definitely use a 30mm radius in my design. ![]() I’ve included this sample swatch file as a link in the description so you can cut out materials that you’re using for your laser cutter and then we can put these parameters into fusion 360 and design them for our cuts. That’s why you need to make swatches so you can test out different cut distances on your material. Living hinges are a great way to bend plywood with a laser cutter.įor example this 1.5 mm cut is is very bendy and flexible and can fit around tight radiuses.īut if I move up to 4 mm, I still bend but it is not as flexible as other cut patterns.
