Laser Cutting with the Union College Maker Web
Home: New York, United States
Come learn about Laser cutting and assemble laser cut STEM kits with the Union College Maker Web Laser Lab! Laser cutters are a key tool in makerspaces, used for precise cutting, engraving, and etching on a wide range of materials such as wood, acrylic, fabric, and even metal. They operate by focusing a high-powered laser beam onto the surface of the material, which either vaporizes, burns, or melts the material along the specified design. Makers can create intricate patterns, custom shapes, and detailed engravings by controlling the laser's power and speed. This makes laser cutters ideal for creating prototypes, customized products, art, and educational projects, fostering creativity and rapid iteration in a community-driven setting.

The Union College Maker Web is a unique group of 5 Makerspaces (fabrication and tinkering labs) spread across campus dedicated to supporting maker activities, experimentation and hands-on learning for the entire campus community. These co-working spaces are at the intersection of departments and disciplines and we assist students and faculty with courses and research. We host many analog and digital tools for making and fabricating including 3D printers laser cutters and CNC milling machines.
