To create an adaptable sorting system with movable tabs, the following tools, software, and materials are required based on the tutorial. Each category is organized below for clarity.

Hardware

  • CNC or laser cutting machine (common suppliers in Lisbon)
  • Laser engraving/cutting machine (for numbered panels)
  • Screwdriver or power drill (for assembly)

Software

  • CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, Fusion 360) to adjust file thickness
  • Vector design tools (e.g., Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape) for file editing

Materials

  • 25 mm thick sheets (wood, acrylic, or MDF)
  • Screws (size matching panel thickness)

Additional Tools

  • Sandpaper or power sander (for finishing surfaces)
  • Clamps or alignment jigs (for precise assembly)
  • Measuring tape or calipers (to verify dimensions)

The process requires precise adjustments in design software for material thickness and proper machine calibration when cutting or engraving numbered dividers [1].
