## Steps
### Step 1: Prepare your tools!

You will need:

- 1 HDPE 45x45x1 cm ( in case it´s thicker than 1cm adjust cnc file ) 
- cnc machine ( or someone that provides de cutting service )
- chisel 
- sandpaper

### Step 2: File in the CNC machine

Use the file converted to the cnc machine. 
- Take into account the diameter of the cnc milling cutter so the dimmensions of the parts do not change. 
-Make sure to vacuum the microplastics in order to be able to transform them again into plastic sheets ( we usually use this kind to prototype new products )

### Step 3: Soften the  edges

The cnc machine leaves a support, now its time to get rid off it with the chisel, and after that we can soften the edges with the sandpaper.
