• Material: 3–6 mm plywood or MDF; export as SVG/DXF with kerf compensation.
• Cutting order: interior paths first, leaving 2–3 mm gaps to avoid burning.
• Machine settings:
  • CO₂ laser: 20–30 mm/s speed, 20–25% power.
  • CNC spindle: 12 000–15 000 RPM, 1000–2000 mm/min feed, 1–2 mm depth per pass.
• Post-processing: clean carbon residue, light sanding, optional finish or paint.
