Beyond the Basics- Laser Cutting @ The Foundry- Tech Lab Orientation

Learn how to use a industrial laser cutter which has more versatility than simpler lasers. We call ours "The Red Monster" and it can fit a larger variety of materials than our Glowforge can and with more adjustability. In this class you will learn the ins and outs of working this laser and Lightburn software. Lightburn is a pay-to-use software but interested students can use the 30 day free trial to check it out before the class if desired. All of our other laser cutting classes are on the Glowforge laser cutter and they focus on designing files, if you haven't designed an SVG it's suggested that you take one of those classes first.

This class is great for hobbyists and also those looking to start a small business in laser cutting!

Upon completion of this orientation course you will be certified to use this equipment during our Open Maker Hours. (https://www.thefoundrybuffalo.org/makerspaces)
