Description:
The Diamondsoft LS2 course is designed to introduce and instruct the student to 2d Drafting and Programming for their Laser Machines. The course will cover basic drawing features that will teach the Student to design, program and send a part for production to the machine. At the end of this course the student should be able to draw a part, program the part, manually nest it and then generate NC code to run on the machine.
