Laser cutting locally?

[Justyn Butler]

Hi,

I have some foam board I need to cut into some shapes for decorative
purposes. Does anyone know of anywhere in Kent with a laser cutter or
laser cutting services? The nearest one I can use so far is in
Southampton.

Thanks,
Justyn

Slightly nearer than southhampton, I know the London Hackspace have one.
Don't know what you would need to do to get access (join the hackspace at
a guess).

Nope, just turn up! We charge £5 per hour (I think), to cover expected replacement of the tube and electricity.

Thanks for the tips, that's worth knowing!

Oh, also, UoK School of Architecture have a laser cutter which they
charge £5 per hour for - not sure if they're open to the general
public or not but Kevin seems generally to be happy to help as long as
they're not too busy.

Do you know what capacity of ply wood the UKC laser cutter can handle?
