Laser Cutter PCs

Each laser cutter also has a workstation attached but these are exclusively for running Lasercut 5.3. Students should prepare their 3D printing and laser cutting files on the other workstations and bring them over on our USB sticks, by email, cloud, or just save them to the desktop and it should be available when you login on the laser cutter workstation.
