How to control the machine by the software

Included with the machine is 2 pieces of plywood. They are 15*31 centimeters (5.9*12.2 inches) in size. We do not put A4 format, because it does not fit in the box with the machine and use plywood 4 mm thick for these samples. This is to avoid making the box heavy to send.

We have prepared 2 images that are the right size to fit on these plywood: a Hedgehog and a Swan. Click on the photo to download this image in .bmp format.
