For any other materials, please ask at the Dyson Centre main desk.
Important to note:
- Our cutters are not able to cut metals.
- Lasering certainly common plastics:
- Can release deadly fumes!
- Can release acid gas!
- ...which will damage you and the machine!
- Will cause the to catch fire!
- Normal plywood and MDF contains non-laser-compatible glue.
- The filter on the machine will not prevent the above!
- We are not (yet?) able to extract fumes outside the building.
- This is why we stick with acrylic/Perspex and laser plywood.
Makespace offer advice here on their very similar setup (noting our machines are fitted with higher power, 80 Watt laser tubes).
