A Database for Laser Cutters

I have been using Glowforge since the beginning and the one problem that I have had is keeping track
of my projects. So I created a 3 in 1 database that makes keeping track of Projects, Resources and Materials a lot easier.

TheProject part consists of:
Project Name, Date,Completion Time, Source, Tags, Location, Setting Notes
And WEB Addresses for Project,Maker,Video and Instructions.
Up to 9 settings can be made for Materials, Function, Speed, Power, Passes and LPI .

The Resource part consists of
Resource Name, WEB Address and Resource Type

The Materials part consists of
Material Name, Size, Count, Cost, Source, Location. Date and WEB Address

I populated the Resource section with 155 useful for laser cutting resources
that I have collected over the years…
There is also a small Users Guide (LaserCut.pdf) in the LaserCut folder.

You should be able to download the LaserCut-MAC and LaserCut-PC apps
From the Dropbox links below.

To run the database, Unzip and run the LaserCut app in the LaserCut folder.
(The PC version works great. The MAC version may have a problem finding
the LaserCut file. If it does, try double clicking on the LaserCut.fmp12 file.)

Thanks for sharing! Not sure how much I’d use it (mostly because I’m an unorganized fool - maybe this would fix that lol), but definitely wanted to check it out.

I had trouble on my 2015 MacBook. Don’t recall version - I’m one minor update behind. But, I had trouble with both the .app file and the .fmp file. I guess the fmp tries to launch the .app file? Either way, the error for me was that the .app file is damaged, and it recommended sending to trash.

Wow! This is really cool and what a super generous share. My organization style is called “chaos”, but I’ll definitely give this a go.
