Training – Laser

In the first part, you will be learning Laser Draw, which is software that can be used for making designs.

Once you are comfortable with Laser Draw, we’ll start with easy designs that have only one part.

Then we’ll get into slightly more complex designs. And finally, by the end, you’ll learn how to create projects with multiple interlocking parts, using different types of joints.

You’ll also learn the different ways a laser can affect the material you’re cutting, like scoring and engraving.  We’ll also cover non-design things, like material selection, preventing burn marks, finishing your projects, and more.

By using this project-based incremental learning method, you won’t feel overwhelmed trying to do something that is beyond your current skill level. And you will practice by creating actual products that you can use in your house.

you don’t need your own laser-cutter.   There are many maker spaces and libraries that now provide access to laser-cutters. The files you learn to make in this course can also be cut on almost any laser-cutter.
