Duration 3 hours

Cost $55 ($45 members)

Class Size 3-4

Ages 16+

Prerequisite Must have prior experience with Lightburn and have participated in a CO2 laser class. 

Description

This class will cover the initial concepts of the fiber laser: q-pulse, frequency, etc., while also addressing the need for a
different safety mindset needed while at the Fiber Laser. Students will use these concepts to then analyze how changing the physical laser beam impacts our medium. After discussing how the settings work, students will choose from a pre-approved selection of vector files that all fit on a stainless steel business card. There will be options for borders, center images, or backgrounds that will be placed inside of a template. Students will then choose from predetermined settings and assign a desired texture or color layer to their chosen image[s]. 

 

Jon[athan] Formo

Jon's maker experience goes way back, in all sorts of forms. As a kid it was dirt piles and Tonka trucks, LEGO, and sketchy bike ramps.
After highschool he studied Furniture Design with experience in wood and metal shops along with casting and thermoforming plastics. Adding lasers has been an exciting and engaging path, clearing the way to rethink how he engages art, design, and spatial problem solving.

These are the makers who are going to bring this project to life! There are 3 open spots remaining.
