The HEI owns 2 laser cutting machines:

  • a 40 W xxx in AE07
  • a xx W xxx in Cxxx

The machines are seen as printers. The xxx printer driver allows to transfer the drawings to the laser cutter. The printer driver recognizes xxx specific colors which are translated into laser power and speed values.
