Laser cutter use?

[Stewart Light]

Afternoon!

I have a possible project (surfboard) that I'm looking at the feasibility of tackling. It would require a fair bit of laser cutting of corrugated cardboard and as I'm without a laser cutter myself I'm investigating the possible use of one.

I'm not looking to free load but did wonder if it's possible to hire the use / commission someone to cut for me using your cutter? Clearly I'm not trained in it's use so wouldn't expect to be able to rock up and use it, nor do I pay to access the space. While I would love to be a member, I'm down in Aylesbury so long term membership would be a bit pointless for me.

Any advice appreciated!

It might also be worth me pointing out that I'm a hobbyist knifemaker with quite a bit of tooling so if there is anything anyone would need making on or working as trade that could be a possibility too. Of particular interested might be my heat treating oven which can cope with 22" length and 1200 degrees celcius.

Cheers,

Stew.

Hello

Welcome.

You are more than welcome to come and use the facilities on a pay as you use basis - £5 per week as a one off cash donation is fine. There is a small surcharge for the laser tube to cover wear.

It depends on the size you want to cut. Our laser will cut to approx a4 size so this might be a limitation.

In terms of training - it take up to an hour depending on how far you wish to go.

The cutter will take in DXF files to output.

Michael

Thanks! 

It's a way off being a reality but hopefully I will be in touch soon!
