May the fourth be with you Gallery! It's not all work work work here at Kitronik HQ. Sometimes it's fun work fun! Which is the case this may the fourth, or Star Wars day as it is commonly known.

We wanted some new artwork for the office walls when we move to our new premises next month and last weekend I had spent the day with family at Highfields Park boating lake. I decided this would make an interesting piece for a laser cut map as the contrast between the water and land is easy to show. The same technique could be used for any area with both water and land in it.

It had to happen sooner or later but we've now outgrown our current HQ and we are now moving! A new HQ has been sourced and is now being prepared for our arrival. The move will allow us to expand our stocked range of products significantly.

This is a basic laser cutting guide for laser cut animals showing you how to turn images into DXF laser files ready for your cutter. In addition, we used Inkscape to sketch out a little stand so that once cut we could show off our laser cut animals in the best possible light! Learn how!

This step by step guide shows you how you might design and make a simple perspex box. We have used free design tools for this guide but we will also highlight an alternative method, using different software and browser-based tools.
