Materials and configuration
Wood/MDF:
- 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.[1] MDF is denser than plywood.

Cartboard:
- Cardboard is a generic term for a heavy-duty paper of various strengths, ranging from a simple arrangement of a single thick sheet of paper to complex configurations featuring multiple corrugated and uncorrugated layers.
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.

Machine workflow
- Turn on the machine.
- Turn System to 'ON'.
- Turn Laser to 'ON'.
- Turn Shutter to 'OPEN'.
- Turn Mode to 'RUN'.
- Turn on the fume extraction.
- Fume collector to 'ON'.
- Turn on the the main compressor (main switch on the front wall of the lab, small box with two smal blue caps).
Multicam 2000 interface pannel
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)
- 6. Start the job. By pressing button number 10 two times.
- 7. Pause in case of accident. Button number 5.
- 8. Restart by pressing Enter ( button number 30).
