The lasercut is one of the tools we share at Lofoio.
If you need precise cuts and rapid execution, you can take the first steps in lasercutting with the help of our makers.
Our initiation to lasercut includes the software to control the machine and a basic training to its use, an introduction to vector graphics and your first cut tests.
You can bring your laptop, set up the vector graphics with us and make the first cut.
Test materials are included.
After this introduction you will be able to convert a vector graphic file into a lasercutting project.
