Laser Cutters

Our laser cutters will only be made available during times when they can be staffed by an IDeATe staff member or authorized safety monitor. All laser cutter users must complete the online Laser Cutter Safety module in addition to the Fire Extinguisher training.

IDeATe’s laser cutters cut flat materials such as cardboard, fabric, paper, MDF, plywood, and acrylic. The IDeATe facility limits laser cutting to a limited selection of materials known to be safe.
