1: Aim
The aim of this document is to provide a guideline for the testing of the cutting and etching of new
materials in the Edge’s Trotec 100w CO2 Laser Cutter.
Most of the tools in The Edge Fabrication Lab have been acquired with the intention of making these
available to the public so members of our community can experiment with a range of fabrication
technologies.
There is also an acknowledgement that members of the public and staff will want to experiment using
different materials in equipment like The Edge’s Laser Cutter.
This section outlines a process to manage the risks of health hazards and damage to equipment that
could occur from cutting/ etching different materials in the Laser cutter. These are guideline only and
as such, do not cover all eventualities.
When testing new materials using the laser cutter extreme caution should be used.
