ADMISSION
This is an introductory class covering the basics of running the Blue Shenhui SH-G570 60-watt laser cutter/engraver at Xerocraft. We will also cover some basic introductory material in drawing vector graphics with Lightburn to send to the laser cutter. We will also go over the operation of our other two CO2 laser cutters.
There will be a monthly mini-project for each class.
NOTICE: ALL Minors Must have a parent present for this class
This class includes the use of potentially hazardous tools and/or materials. Any students under age 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present with them in the class, and have signed an injury waiver for the underage student. The instructor may choose not to permit a student to participate at their discretion.
Please note: Members who have completed this introductory training are NOT yet Laser Certified. In order to get the Laser computer password, trainees must demonstrate their knowledge in a separate session. Contact boss.laser@xerocraft.org for more information or to schedule an appointment.
Only Xerocraft members may become laser certified. Become a member here.
If you are unfamiliar with vector graphics software, we usually recommend Inkscape to beginners; it's a free, open-source software similar to Adobe Illustrator.
Thanks!
