A0 Laser Cutter

The Hackspace brought an A0 laser cutter from Just Add Sharks in early 2014, installed in May 2014. The project information related to that is available on the wiki.

Training

You need to have had an induction on the laser cutter to use it.

Costs and Usage

The A0 laser cutter costs £3 per hour; it will be charged per penny when hooked up to the RFID reader. For guidelines these are the costs over an hour, since larger jobs can take a long time especially if engraving.

Time Cost
10 Minutes £0.50
20 Minutes £1.00
30 Minutes £1.50
40 Minutes £2.00
50 Minutes £2.50
1 hour £3


Red Laser Cutter

There is still some information on Inductions to sign up for an induction and for information on inductions while it is in the space. These however have been put on hold with the new laser being available. The old Materials info on what can be cut and suggested settings for this machine and will be updated.
