Laser Cutters
Overview
HeatSync Labs has an 80 Watt Laser Cutter and 60 Watt Laser Cutter. You must be certified to use the laser cutter on your own. There is a Monthly Laser Meetup on the 1st Sunday of every month from 10am - 2pm, and a Laser Certification on the 3rd Sunday of the month. Check the calendar for details.
If there are problems that cause the laser not to be safe to use; Discuss with whoever is hosting open hours. Post a sign on the laser if it's out of order. Then post on Slack in the laser channel about the problem.
The Laser Category page lists all articles on our wiki about the laser cutters. Some may be outdated.
