Laser cutting is a technology that uses a high power laser to cut and/or etch materials, and is typically used for manufacturing applications. It works by directing the output of a laser onto various materials where the surface will be etched or the material cut all the way through. The position of the laser is computer controlled, allowing for accurate cutting or etching of digital files. If you are curious, or would like to know how a lasercutter might fit in to your current workflow, come along to FabLab Nerve Centre for this introductory session. FREE. Registration is essential.
