How to prepare files in Trotec Ruby and Adobe Illustrator

This guide will step you through how to use Trotec Ruby and a vector drawing like Adobe Illustrator to prepare a design for laser cutting.

Safety Induction Required
Anyone wishing to use the Laser Cutter in B401B is required to attend a safety induction led by one of the CCI technical staff.

Preparing files for laser cutting is relatively straight forward, and some simple projects can even be made using just the tools built into Ruby.

Adobe Illustrator
This guide will not go into depth about the use of Adobe Illustrator, you can learn about how to use it on LinkedIn Learing which is free to all UAL students and staff.
