Sign off: Laser Rotary Tool Prerequisite: Laser Cutter 101 sign-off Note: non-members are welcome and do not need the prerequisite since they are not eligible for the sign-off. You will walk away with an engraved glass you designed and get signed off to use the rotary attachment to our laser cutter with this hands-on class. The process is a simple one, but this class is critical for your safety and that of the laser equipment. Attendees will get some background in a Computer classroom setting then will get hands-on practice with the equipment. Students will go through laser cutter software techniques, tips, and tricks for cutting glasses, then will spend the second half of class hands-on laser engraving glasses on the rotary tool.
