Creating a template in Inkscape for engraving and cutting with the LaserPecker 2 laser engraver.

Inkscape is a powerful vector graphic program that is free to download and use. You can download it here.

In this very short film I show how I set up a template with the dimensions 100x100mm which is the max size that the LaserPecker 2 can engrave at, without using the 3rd axis, trolley or slab modes.

To create 2 files (one for engraving and another for cutting) we use 2 layers, which we create and save in the template. After we save this as our default template, every time we start Inkscape it will be ready to start designing with exporting .png files for use with the LaserPecker 2.
