About this event

Interested in learning how to use our CO2 Laser (Thunder Nova 51)? Come take our three-hour workshop (it's a lot, we need you to not burn the building down).


We'll cover:
- machine setup
- operating Lightburn
- securing your workpiece
- materials you can and cannot use in this machine
- cleanup and maintenance
- being a good steward of the lasers at our makerspace

Our laser workshops are labeled numerically for a reason - we want you to take them in that order. Our followup classes for the fiber laser build off the knowledge presented in our co2 laser class. Please don't sign up for 102 or 103 without taking 101.

Our orientation notes are here - I recommend you familiarize yourself prior to attending: https://wiki.bereamakerspace.org/index.php?title=Thunder_Nova_Laser

Mission:
To foster a diverse community of doers, artists, entrepreneurs, life-long learners, and new makers, who can explore, create, and gain new skills in a shared space.
