Advanced Laser Cutting: Engraving 3D Features

 

Class Overview

This class will push the limits of what laser etching machines can do from the software side. Although laser machines are traditionally optimized for 2D pieces, with some software tricks and a bit of patience it’s very possible to create a 3D relief cut piece! This is a way to add a more complexity to add a beautiful touch to any laser made piece.

Class Cost

  • $35 for non-members
  • $25 for monthly members (you do not need to be a member to attend our classes, however, members do get discounts!) Learn about membership

Prequisites

  • None, but taking Laser Cutting authorization before is suggested.

Materials Used

Materials demonstrated

  • Maple (hardwood)

Age Requirement

  • 18 and up (exceptions can be made for ages 15-17 that are interested, and 12+ are ok if they attend with a parent)

Whats Next After I Take This Class:

It's suggested to attend the Laser Cutting authorization classes for hands on practice using the machines! If you've already taken the class and are authorized to use the machine, your encouraged to try to make your own cool things.

 We suggest you visit HexLab during open hours to practice and our staff can help answer any questions.

Laser Cutting: Alternative Materials

   

   

Class Overview

This class will push the limits of what laser etching machines can do with different work piece materials. The most common materials used for the laser machines are Wood and Acrylic, but there are an amazing amount of materials that can easily be used on the lasers! There are obviously different types of wood, but there are even more exciting materials like stamp rubber, 2 color plastics, paper, glass, pumpkins, and much more!

Many novel and exotic materials will be demonstrated on how to cut/etch, as well as the ideal uses of each of the materials.

Class Cost

  • $35 for non-members
  • $25 for monthly members (you do not need to be a member to attend our classes, however, members do get discounts!) Learn about membership

Prequisites

  • None, but taking Laser Cutting authorization is suggested.

Materials Used

Materials

  • 2 color Plastics
  • Rubber Stamps
  • Cardboard/Foam Core
  • Metal (marking)
  • Cloth
  • Even More!

CNC 2: CNC Router Training

 Class Overview

This CNC Class Series is intended to teach you how to program and operate a CNC Router Machine in one day, through two separate classes including CNC 1: Intro to CNC Programming and CNC 2: CNC Router Training.
In this second class – CNC 2: Router Training – you will learn to Operate a CNC Router and make your very first CNC object. This class also includes 1 extra hour of practice. After taking this class you will be allowed to use our CNC Router Machine and take home your very first machined piece by the end of class!

 Class Cost

  • $60 for non-members
  • $50 for monthly members (you do not need to be a member to attend our classes, however, members do get discounts!) Learn about membership

Prequisites

CNC 1: Intro to CNC Programming must be taken prior to this class.

Age Requirement

All ages 18+ are welcome (ages 15 – 17 must be accompanied by an adult).
 

Whats Next After I Take This Class:

Take a look at the Project Ideas shown below and create one of them during a free assisted practice session or during open hours. This helps you practice the steps learned during class and feel more comfortable using the machine.
After you take this intro class we encourage you to come in for a free assisted practice session. Make sure to set a reminder for one of our assisted practice sessions: Sundays from 12:30 pm to 5 pm or Wednesdays from 6 pm to 9 pm. If you can’t make one of these weekly practice sessions we suggest you visit HexLab during open hours to practice and our staff can help answer any questions!
Once you are approved on our CNC Router Table you can attend advanced classes to learn the CNC Mill and CNC Lathe.
Hope to see you all soon!
