3. Prepare for cutting

There are multiple things that need to be done before the laser cutter can start.

Exercise

Do all the steps until (i.e. without) 'Start laser'.

  • For material, use regular paper
  • For the design, use any drawing you like: just a circle is perfectly fine
  • The laser is set up to cut through the paper, using the settings in this guide
  • Test that the design will indeed be correctly cut out off the paper, using the 'Frame' functionality

Exam

Do the exercise in 10 minutes, without any help.

  • The ventilation must be on
  • The laser is at the correct physical height
  • The laser must be set up to cut through the paper
  • The paper is place there where the laser is cut

You pass if indeed you've prepared correctly for laser cutting.
