Just got access to a shiny new laser cutter/engraver

[Wastelander]

My school just got a laser cutter/engraver which the design students have access to at lunch times for their own projects and school work.

This thing mostly gets used for bookmarks and poplar picture frames (what a waste!) but I was thinking it could be useful to cut out pep files accurately and quickly, and also some brass pieces i need to cut out for a cane. I was wondering if you guys have any other ideas for neat projects that could be done using the laser engraver.

Thanks

you could do

Nice one The design should be easy enough using some templates i found online, and i'm buying the brass sheet right now.

Just remember it needs to be Thin..

0.3mm should be more than ideal i reckon.

Hi,
Just remember that if it is a CO2 laser it will not be able to cut metal at all.

I'm unsure of the model/make, but it looks very similair to this one:

Probably does not cut metal! Find out the Watts, make and mode and we can help!

Yeah and hurry up, :rolleyes The members need stuff cut for free :lol

it may not be able to cut metal, but they can at least etch metal a little bit. I've used the one at my school for layout on metal. Saves a lot of time
