Hi all!

I'm looking to find an easy way to cut the excess material on a cured part, without having a lot of dust as cutting with Dremel?
Does anyone know any laser pen or something like that? Or some tips to help me cut?

Thanks in advance

There isn't really any easy way to trim the edges.  If it was flat sheet, you could CNC waterjet cut it which is a good hands free way of doing it.  Laser cutting does not work well as the temperature needed to cut the carbon means it melts the resin so the edges are not very neat.

Using  a downdraft table or similar vented extraction system makes the whole process much neater as the dust is removed as it is produced.

Thanks for your answer.
I will invest in a downdraft table I think.
