About this Event
In this three-hour workshop you will learn how to use a laser cutter. This technology allows you to prototype with different types of materials by cutting and engraving. By the end of the session, you will have gone through the whole production process of a laser cut piece: from preparing your data, to cutting and engraving an object, and you will be able to work independently with the laser cutters.
Learning outcome
During the workshop you will learn how to:
- Prepare your vector or image file in a vector graphics software
- Use a laser cutter to cut, mark and engrave different types of materials, like plywood, acrylic glass, cork or leather.
- Cut patterns from sheet metal like steel.
By the end of the session, you will have the opportunity to present a project of your own to the instructor, and review the plan you have for laser cutting it.
Completing this workshop, with the corresponding membership, will grant you access to our GS Laser Systems laser cutting machines at MotionLab.Berlin.
