Open Lab Evening: Laser Cutter
Future Tools Series
At this “Future Tools” Open Lab evening, we’ll be exploring every maker’s dream tool—the laser cutter. From quickly developing and precisely bringing individual designs to life in a wide variety of materials, to cutting simple patterns, engraving detailed graphics into wood, or building complex three-dimensional objects—anything is possible.
Are you curious and want to know what possibilities the laser cutter has to offer? Then stop by and get to know the tool and the basics of laser cutting through your own small project: preparing designs for the laser cutter, cutting, engraving, and selecting materials.
The laser cutter and materials for experimentation are available for free on-site. Bringing your own laptop is helpful for developing your own cutting patterns. Dropping by on a whim? No worries—we have laptops available on-site.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-> What is a laser cutter?
-> What materials can be cut or engraved with a laser?
-> How do I create a design?
-> Laser cutter training—safety first!
-> Tips and tricks
Machine:
Laser Cutter
“Future Tools” is our current workshop series, in which we take an in-depth look at various technologies. We’ll familiarize you with the machines of the future so you can develop creative ideas for tomorrow’s world.
What is an Open Lab evening?
Every Thursday, things get creative in the Lab. You’ll learn about methods like Design Thinking and Future Storytelling, try out 3D printers and laser cutters, and get a behind-the-scenes look at Lab projects. There’s something new every week.
