Always wanted to learn how to use a lasercutter? After completing the Maker Skills Course, you&#x27;re able to work with it in Waag&#x27;s FabLab.What are you going to learn?
In this course you will learn how to operate the laser cutter at the Fablab. After this
 course, you are allowed to use the laser cutter on Thursdays during the open days of 
the lab (10-17h, on appointment and depending on availability).
The course consists of:<ul><li>How to prepare your file for laser cutting (vectors &amp; images)
</li><li>How to use Lightburn (software used to operate the machine)
</li><li>What materials can you use
</li><li>Making something!
</li></ul>For this course you are expected to know how to create vector based files (DXF, SVG,
etc.) in your preferred software (Inkscape, Illustrator or any other CAD software).
 Please bring a laptop with a trial version of Lightburn installed (<a href="https://lightburnsoftware.com/pages/trial-version-try-before-you-buy" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">can be downloaded</a>). You don’t have to prepare a file to lasercut, but you can bring ideas.
Where and when?
The course is given at the Fablab in the Waag on the Nieuwmarkt 4 in Amsterdam on 
Friday December 9, 2022 from 14-17 hrs. Future dates to be determined.
For whom?
For makers who are looking for a place to experiment, create and meet like-minded
 people. Open source documentation is very important to us, so we expect you to write
 your own documentation on the use of the machine. If you can demonstrate that you
 know how to use the laser cutter safely, you are allowed to use it. This workshop is not
 aimed at people looking for commercial production; instead we want to enable local
 artists, designers and other creatives to develop open source projects.
Costs
The course is €75,- including taxes per person. There’s a capacity of 4-7 people. Materials, coffee and tea are included.
