Laser Cutting for Beginners w/ Steph

Thanks for your interest in LAS110: Introduction to OMTech Laser Cutters! This free beginner-friendly course is intended to be an easy introduction to some pretty powerful laser cutters, including our 60W and 130W CO2 machines. As part of the 60-minute course, you'll learn how to operate laser cutters, learn more about what type of materials you can cut and engrave, and ultimately learn best practices for not setting things on fire!

At the end of the course users will have firm knowledge on the following:

• Basic laser system operations.
• Lightburn software.
• Material hazards and dangers.
• Effects of material density on laser cutting and engraving.
• Basic laser safety.

Hi, I’m Steph. I’ve been an artist and maker my whole life, and specialize in ceramics, painting, pattern drafting, and leather working. I studied oil painting/multi-media art (so basically I got to glue rope to walls for 6 hours a day!) and currently work as a graphic designer. I recently moved to CO from Boston, and am excited to spend more time outside and hike all the good trails. When I’m not at CCM, you can find me in the ceramics studio or in the garden with the cats.
