Lamination PRO Tutorials - Multi-Generation Laminations

Lloyd,
I finally got Lamination Pro (version 3.1..) to download onto windows 8.1 machine with out Norton interference! When I try to build I get error that MS .NET Framework 3.5 is needed. I have MS .NET Framework 4.5 on machine (part of OS). Any suggestions?
thanks
 
Pat,

.Net 3.5 is on your computer but in their infinite wisdom, Microsoft dotted not install it by default in some of their OEM installs. 4.5 is not an upgrade, it simply runs side by side with 3.5 and most software running today requires 3.5.

To install it, go to your Control Panel and select Programs and Features. In the left column, look for something like add/remove system features (or something like that - I'm on the road on my iPad) and at the top of the list will be .Net 3.5. Check that box in front of that entry and it will be installed and then lamination pro will install just fine.

Lloyd,
Awesome handouts...I have learned much just by viewing the slides, but they sure make me wish I had been able to see them in person at the symposium..maybe next time 8>)

Anyway, I notice the Dubby that you are using to cut your segments...and it looks like you use the Dubby on the 'right' side of the blade, but on the left side where the segment cut-off would be there is nothing. Since the Dubby must have 'some' height to it, do you just allow the segment to fall off onto the left side of the blade..??..and then you pick it up from there..??

Thanks for all the great information you provide..!!

Hello Mr. Johnson, What a wealth of knowledge and very powerful tools. Thank you. I am going through Lam Pro and I cannot see how to apply them to segments for making feature rings instead of flat items. Kyle

Hi Kyle:
Lloyd will most likely have a better answer but thought I would give you my thoughts.

Think of the laminate design as you are looking at it laying down on the bench you are looking at the outside face of the segment. The laminate repeating pairs would be stood up on end (rotated 90 degrees) so the side that was facing you becomes the bottom of the segment. The segment sides are mitered and glued into a ring.



To make the segment you would cut the repeating pairs into rectangles with the width being at least the segment edge length you need for the ring you are building. Using a cutting jig you would miter the ends of the segment block. refer to the incra file for an example of how to miter the blocks.
The segmented ring jig file give you one way to miter the segments .

Thank you for your reply, I think where I was getting lost in the tutorial was that it was thin and glued for a table top. I exported it to 3d pro and didn't see how to translate it into a compound segment. I have only made one laminated/compound bowl so far and it was a chore, :) I saw this software and i'm hoping it can ease my pain and maybe make a dollar or two. Thank you for the jig plans, that is more detailed than the one I am using now. Kyle - Trees Into Treasures
