Learn about the precise and versatile machines known as laser cutters, used for cutting or engraving materials including plastics, glass, metal, wood, leather or even food. Laser cutting is a process that allows for projects as simple as customised drink coasters to advanced quad-copter drones. Under the guidance of the instructor, participants will learn how to create a personalised 2D puzzle and a custom mobile phone stand.
This workshop is perfect for those interested in learning the fundamentals of laser cutting. From operating the machine to the selection of materials, participants will learn the most useful tips and tricks that could be incorporated into their own practice. After the theoretical introduction and live demonstration, participants will have a hands-on opportunity to build their own creations using plywood and acrylic.
