Make it Better: Adobe at Home Webinar

July 22, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Free

From Making to Selling: A NextFab Made Online Series for the Makers and Artisans of Philadelphia and Beyond. In this pathway of webinars, we’re excited to showcase the NextFab technical experts, who have helped hundreds of makers, small businesses, and creatives make it better. Through step-by-step instructions, our experts will show viewers how they got through a specific process to streamline their business.

Have you ever designed something, whether it was in your head or in Adobe Illustrator, but then you’re unable to translate it to the tool you’re using? Or create a file, but waste material testing it out on the tool?

In this webinar, Wilmington Manager and Fabrications Wizard, Ross Stoops will walk viewers through specifically how to prep an Adobe Illustrator file for any CNC machine, focusing specifically on NextFab’s laser cutting machines. He’ll review:

  • What pieces you’ll need for your Adobe Illustrator file
  • How to use Adobe Illustrator for different types of CNC machines (ShopBot, Wazer Water Jet Cutter, Trotec, etc.)
  • How to translate designs in Illustrator to any tool you’re using
  • How to understand design constraints and results without testing your design on the tool first

By the end of this webinar, you should have all the tools and a working Adobe Illustrator design to get you started on your next project.

*A working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator is encouraged, but not required.
