SUMMARY:Tool Training: Laser Cutter
DESCRIPTION:Laser cutters are used to produce precise cuts and engravings with several materials based on 2D vector and raster images. The machines are commonly used for anything from industrial manufacturing to small and intricate art projects. This class will teach how to operate Technocopia’s Full Spectrum laser cutter safely and effectively. Students will learn the process of creating and preparing a simple design in Inkscape\, opening it in Retina Engrave\, and then operating the laser to produce the cut. We will also learn how to calibrate the auto focus sensor\, and discuss what types of materials are appropriate to use with the machine. \nThe software used is Inkscape (https://inkscape.org) it’s free to download and has many online references. \nThis tool is available for family use! Any youth between the ages of 12-17 may take this class with a participating adult.

Thank you! \nAbout the Instructor \nBreanna Niebel\, is a graphic designer and animator with extensive background in creative software.
