Curious about some options to cnc cut carbon, kevlar and fiberglass fabrics. Of course the local composite supplier has some crazy 5-6 figure commercial offerings...

Yes, engineer found some new FEA module... After 2 days in the shop, I realize there's no way to hand cut these accurately/

I know some fabrics can be cut on a laser cutter - but getting one big enough - well we go back to that crazy budget number again...

Is there something I'm not seeing? I feel like I should be able to find something like a plotter where I can add the 42/50" roll and feed it a pdf/dxf - then get cut fabric out the front...
