Use them to cut non-film materials into shapes that can be used in analog film machines. If all you want to do is laser cut materials into film shapes, you're almost done reading. The provided [.svg](https://github.com/sixteenmillimeter/filmless/tree/master/svg) and [.dxf](https://github.com/sixteenmillimeter/filmless/tree/master/dxf) files can be opened in whichever application you use to control your laser cutter. With just these files you can cut twelve 33-frame strips of 16mm-sized film from any flat material that you can cut with your laser. Whether or not it will run through a projector depends on the material but at least you can cut it! This has been tried with paper, vellum, acetate and inkjet transparency film. - -![Vellum closeup](docs/vellum.jpeg?raw=true)![Acetate closeup](docs/acetate.jpeg?raw=true) +
