This cut file is designed for 2oz Acopa shot glasses. The shot glasses are tapered and so I designed the slots to have a higher gradient then the slope of the glass so that the top will fall through the slot more then the bottom. Yielding an even surface for the glowforge to engrave on
The tapered shape calculations? Just literally math…its all I am good at I took measurement to the true slop and compare it with my desired. Then took some fine tuning to handle the burn off.
when my daughters are helping me design something(they are both great math students, the oldest is a math major in college) I point out how useful the math is they they thought they’d never use again. LOL
I use it a lot. At work but also outside of work. I like to sew and design dresses in my spare time and that requires a lot of angle corrections math is certainly has its value.
