SUMMARY:Introduction to Laser Cutting – Weekend 19 & 20 August
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to explore inventing, creating  with lasers? Then this Introduction to Laser Cutting Course is for you and will cover everything you need to get started.\n\nLearn how to master the software, materials, and laser wood cutting and engraving equipment to create new designs and products. \n\nOn completion of the course, each Participant will get one free supervised laser pass where you will review all safety procedures, gain hands-on experience and demonstrate your safe handling of the machine through an induction (3 hours - valued at €70)*\n\nHere's what you'll learn:\n\n\n\n\nHow does a laser cutter work and what are the safety precautions that must be taken?\n\n\nWhat materials can you cut and what kind of results can you expect?\n\n\nFile preparation. How do you create or obtain vector graphics to cut and how do you convert between different file formats?\n\n\nAnd what project you’d like to tackle from start to finish using the laser cutter as a tool.\n\n\nThis course is a prerequisite for using the laser cutter independently in benchspace if you have no prior experience with Lasers.**\n\n\nBasic computer literacy skills essential for a meaningful experience.\n\n\nStudents must bring their own laptop with a vector graphic package installed.  We recommend InkScape which is free and open source but Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw will work as well.\n\n\n\n\n*On completion of the course, participants will be able to book one complimentary supervised laser session to use and test the skills acquired on this course (3 hours, valued at €70, to be used within 30 days). In order to use the laser independantly, you must be cleared by our staff for independant use. This is done via an induction, which tests the skills acquired during this course. If you’d like to access the laser cutter more frequently we have flexible options to pay by day, week or by month. Please email hello@benchspacecork.ie to discover how you can access the workshop and use your complimentary pass.\n\n**benchspace has the right to decide if someone would benefit from further supervision before independent use is approved via our induction process, to make the best out of the time with equipment and fill in further knowledge gaps.\nWhat to wear\nAvoid wearing loose clothing and jewellery and don’t forget to tie back long hair. Closed toe shoes are required on all of our workshop floors.\nPersonal Protective Equipment (PPE)\nPPE will be provided by benchspace for all courses that require it. It must be worn as directed.\nPlease read our terms and conditions here ( https://benchspacecork.ie/terms-conditions/ ) before booking.\nAny questions? Email hello@benchspacecork.ie\n\n\n
