SUMMARY:Intro to Design for Laser Cutting
DESCRIPTION:Note: This workshop will be held in person.\n\nLaser cutting is 
 a process for cutting materials to create 2D and 3D designs. From a digital 
 file\, laser cutters use computer controlled high powered lasers to engrave 
 or cut wood\, metal\, paper and more with high precision.\n\nLaser cutting 
 is a fast and accurate way to engrave objects\, make boxes\, and 
 more!\n\nLearning objectives \n\nAt the end of this workshop\, you will be 
 able to:\n\n\n	Explain to others the pros and cons of laser cutting 
 relative to 3D printing\n	Explain to others acceptable materials for laser 
 cutting and why certain materials are not acceptable\n	Explain what kerf is 
 and how to account for it when designing\n	Describe the difference between 
 vector and raster cuts for engraving\n	Select appropriate 2D or 3D design 
 software for laser applications\n	Find objects and designs online for laser 
 cutting\n	Create and modify 2D designs for engraving\n	Design a 3D object 
 with tab features for joining\n	Export designs to .svg file 
 format\n\n\nDownload and Install Inkscape here:

 are wanting to install software on a work computer\, you may require system
