3D Wooden Star Model

Prepare a sheet of 3mm plywood and place it flat on the laser bed.

Make sure the plywood is stable and positioned correctly before cutting. Check the material dimensions and confirm that the design will fit within the available cutting area.

Download the wooden star model design file and open it in CorelDRAW. Use the compatible laser plug-in or your machine's supported workflow to prepare the design for cutting.

Check the layout and cutting parameters in the laser software, then transfer the design to the machine. The original project workflow calls for cutting the design three times to produce enough parts for assembly. Confirm the required number of pieces and arrange the design accordingly before starting.

Adjust the laser focus according to the procedure for your Nova machine and laser head. Correct focus helps concentrate the beam on the plywood for consistent cutting results.

After focusing, set the job origin using the machine's control panel and confirm that the starting position matches the design layout. Follow the instructions for your specific machine configuration.

Use the Frame function to check the working area and confirm that the wooden star design fits within the plywood sheet.

Once the material position and cutting settings are confirmed, start the job. Stay with the machine and monitor the cutting process continuously. Plywood is combustible, so make sure the exhaust system is working and follow the machine's safety instructions. Stop the job if you notice unexpected flames or abnormal machine behavior.

After cutting is complete and the machine is safe to access, remove the plywood pieces and check that the required parts have been cut through cleanly.

Arrange the pieces according to the design and test-fit them before applying glue. Use glue to secure the connecting areas where needed, then hold the parts in place while the adhesive sets. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions and allow the model to dry fully before displaying it.
