I've cut Mylar tape with a Glowforge laser. It
cuts very nicely but the
alignment is a major hassle, plus you can only cut ~15" of tape which
doesn't go very far. Not worth the effort. If you were to build a custom
linear drive it might work. But also very slow.
That's very interesting. I had thought the smaller home shop lasers were generally
for cutting perspex and thin plywood, rather than mylar sheet. Can your laser
software import a DXF? If so I can send you a DXF of a test tape (in 15" segments)
if you are interested, I would very much like to see the result.
