Wow, never heard of anything like this! How do you calibrate the size? Pros/cons of this system?
I use pattern projector, https://www.patternprojector.com/en It's a web-app where you first calibrate the projector to a size of your choice (I use my cutting map's grid for that) and then load your pattern as pdf. Really simple to use, setup takes 2 minutes and you're ready to cut
Best tip always in the comments
As to pros/cons: Con:
Pro:
By now I just take photos of all the scrap pieces I have, with a metering tool lying around it (similar to old csi crime scene photos). That way I can judge quickly whether any leftovers I have are large enough to fit the pattern, which saves even more time :)
