What is Laser Cutting?

Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, and is typically used in School and Library Makerspaces. The laser optics and CNC (computer numerical control) are used to direct the material or the laser beam generated. The focused laser beam is directed at the material, which then either melts, burns, vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of air or gas, leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish.

Why try a Laser Cutter in your School or Makerspace?

Laser Cutters are great STEM/STEAM tools offering the possibility for students to create many different things in your makerspace, workshop or classroom!. From simple boxes to engraving detailed graphics into wood or building complex three-dimensional objects, Laser Cutting and Engraving offers limitless opportunities for learning.
