Laser cutting

[Biscottinni (Sara Bahman)]

Hi,

Is anyone available to give me induction on using the laser cutter?
I would like to cut some 6mm clear acrylic. I am prototyping light design. . Had to put project on hold during covid. Have used laser cutters before but this particular one.

Thanks in advance

Hi Sara,

Welcome back! To get inducted on the tools including the Laser check out this post:

How to get inducted on the tools

Also, make sure your membership is paid up or you will get access denied on the induction wait lists.
Hope that helps!
Andy
