| {{:laser_cutter.jpg?nolink&400 |}}We have two laser cutters made by Universal Laser Systems Inc., which are located in the production studio on the first floor of the IDC. You can see them through the outside windows at the IDC's ground entrance. Our laser cutters can cut and engrave a variety of materials, including wood, acrylic, paper, cardboard, and in some cases, metal. If you would like to learn how to use the laser cutter, ask a PI to show you. If you already know how to use the laser cutter, stop by the IDC during open hours to use it. Remember that it may be different than the one you're used to, so don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. | {{:laser_cutter.jpg?nolink&400 |}}We have two laser cutters made by Universal Laser Systems Inc., which are located in the production studio on the first floor of the IDC.

| Recently, we have acquired a new laser cutter called the Fablight 4500. This laser cutter is a noncontinuous fiber laser capable of cutting through quarter inch steel very quickly. It was obtained to replace the plasma cutter. The cuts are cleaner and can also engrave various metals such as mild/stainless steel, anodized/not anodized aluminum, brass, and copper. The laser cutter is very easy to use and instructions can be found [[fablight place holder|here]]. | Recently, we have acquired a new laser cutter called the Fablight 4500.
