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.

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.

SUMMARY:IPL Maker Bootcamp: From Design to Fabrication
DESCRIPTION:Have you wanted to learn how to make your own 3D printed and/or laser cut designs\, but thought it was too difficult? \nThis 3 session class was designed for you! This hands-on class steps through all of the skills needed to design\, model and build your own creations\, starting with CAD design and manufacturing your design by laser cutting and/or 3D printing. Each student will end up with a finished object of their own choosing. \n\n\n\nThis class has recommended software to use (including helper apps associated with the software)\, and will show you how to use the software\, use the equipment (3D printer and laser cutter) to create and produce your first design. It will also recommend how to get ideas for new creative designs. \n\n\n\nClass participants will be able to audit the class to reinforce / refresh their knowledge for 12 months after completing the class at no charge. In addition\, they can come to the Ion Prototype Lab during Office Hours for general assistance with their designs. \n
