Description

This short workshop and talk is aimed at complete beginners, giving you the skills needed to start your own journey in laser cutting and engraving using our in-house equipment.

Laser cutting is a powerful and versatile process that can be used to produce things such as 3D models, custom enclosures, high quality artwork and much more.

We will cover:

  • Different materials that can be worked with
  • Tips on how to prepare your designs ready for cutting or engraving
  • Useful software packages
  • How to operate the machine safely and effectively

You will also have the chance to use the machine to produce one small laser cut item, either on the day (time permitting) or at a later date.

This session is open to everyone, you do not need to be a makerspace member to attend.

Ages 16+
