My first experience with the laser cutter was one I won't soon forget. It is £10 for one hour so you want to arrive fully prepared and ready to go. Me I arrived late and with no idea what I was doing, I had a few samples cut at the end of the hour after a lot of hair pulling and time waisted. I had one wood sample cut which I really liked and then I moved onto the fabrics, I wanted to get as many samples I could and on a variety of fabrics and surfaces. I went in with some designs that I had made from my original brain drawing. I wanted to get them cut but I hadn't realised that I had to put it all through certain software etc. I learnt that thicker fabrics were the better medium for me to use as my designs were so intricate that the thin fabric fell apart as shown below in the images.
The wooden brain, my first cut. I really like the smokey look the burnt wood gives my design. I will definitely be using wood again in the laser cutter.
I used some perspex and got some designs and pieces cut out
This is the laser cutter that I used to produce all my samples
