SUMMARY:IPL Learning: Intro to Laser Cutting
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of 2D Fabrication at the Ion Prototyping Lab’s Intro to Laser Cutting workshop. \nDiscover the versatility of laser cutting and its role in rapid prototyping and fabricating. In this 3-hour workshop\, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of Subtractive Manufacturing technology and the operation of an industrial laser cutter. \nMaterial Compatibility: Learn about the materials that work best with laser cutting and those to avoid. \nDesign for 2D laser cutting: Explore how to optimize and prepare your digital files for successful\, high-quality cuts. \nLaser Cutting Software: Understand the basics of laser cutting software\, covering topics such as kerf offsets\, power settings\, and more to optimize your cuts. \nHands-On Machine Operation: By the end of the workshop\, you’ll have designed and created a unique keychain\, gaining practical experience in laser cutter operation. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to enhance your prototyping skills with laser cutting. Space is limited\, so reserve your spot today! \nNote: Experience with 2D Computer-Aided Design (CAD)  or vector graphics software is helpful but not required. We encourage participants to bring their own laptops for a more personalized experience. All necessary materials\, resources\, and software information will be provided upon registration. \nClass participants will be able to audit the class to reinforce / refresh their knowledge for 6 months after completing the class at no additional charge. In addition\, they can come to the Ion Prototype Lab during Office Hours for general assistance with their designs.
