Laser Cutting at dFab
What is Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting is a non-contact process where a high-powered laser travels along a computer-generated pathway to cut, etch and engrave flat materials. A concentrated laser beam is directed through a nozzle onto the cutting material and partial or total burning of the material occurs. The burnt material is then drawn away with extraction leaving a sharp edge or score behind
Access & Training
dFab's suite of 7 laser cutters can be accessed free of charge by all MADA Staff & Students once Level 1 : Laser Training has been completed.
The laser cutters are accessible for the full duration of workshop hours and are one of the most popular machines within the workshop. As this is the case, students are permitted 1 hour of cutting time each week and must always book their laser session through the online calendar - Skedda. This becomes especially important when the machines are in high demand during submission periods throughout the semester.
