About this Event
In this three-hour class, we’ll introduce you to laser cutting technology and teach you the proper steps to plan, prepare, and manufacture a design using a Glowforge CO2 laser cutter. We’ll cover crucial safety information and what kinds of materials are best suited for laser cutting. We’ll show how to use design software (Autodesk Fusion 360 and Adobe Illustrator) to prepare files for laser cutting, as well as proprietary software used by Glowforge laser cutters.
