Intro to the Laser Cutter

In this class we will cover the operation of our 100 watt CO2 laser cutter. We will go over how the machine works, how to make designs, and how to set it up. Each participant will get their very own class book with instructions and tips, so you can come back and use the laser cutter with confidence.

Once you take this class, you'll be cleared to use our laser cutter (either as a member or with a day pass).
