Laser Cutting For Makers | Zero To Maker Workshop
🔗 The full Workshop : https://core-electronics.com.au/cours...
Laser cutting is another tool that has found its way into the maker community due to its ability to cut larger objects extremely quickly. Laser cutters are simple, a powerful laser head is moved around by motors and rails (called a gantry) and is used to melt and blast away a very thin line of material from a large flat piece of material (and we can also turn it down a little to make an engraving). Although this limits us to creating 2D and flat pieces, it is extremely accurate, speedy, and can cut things like acrylic, and wood. Commonly laser-cut parts in a project include clear acrylic lids and windows, boxes using joinery methods, and snap-together wooden models. In this video, we will be learning this process by designing a ruler to be laser cut and outlining the process of cutting it.
