Despite widespread use in general English,[1][2] the term is deprecated in business and industry.[3] Material producers, container manufacturers,[4] packaging engineers,[5] and standards organizations,[6] try to use more specific terminology. There is still no complete and uniform usage. Often the term "cardboard" is avoided because it does not define any particular material.

Wood:

  • Plywood is a manufactured wood panel made from thin sheets of wood veneer. It is one of the most widely used wood products. It is flexible, inexpensive, workable, re-usable, and can usually be locally manufactured.
  • Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. MDF is denser than plywood.

Important commands

  • 1.Shift home to home the machine when you turn everything on. SHIFT is button number 20 and HOME is button number 1.
  • 2. Set thickness of material and Z axis. By pressing button number 6 and ENTER (button number 30)we set the thickness of the material.The values are in millimeters. By constantly pressing button 0 we set the Z axis.
  • 3. Set home. Move the machine with buttons 2,4,6,8 and place it at the starting point you wish. By pressing button number 11 and ENTER(button number 30) set the 0,0 for your file.
  • 4. Set the speed and the power of the material you are going to cut. In MENU (button number 15) choose Params 2d and ENTER. set power and speed according to the table found in the wiki.
  • 5. Load your file. By pressing button number 16 you will enter in your hosts files. Browse your file and choose by pressing ENTER.(button number 30)
