Learn how to use the Epilog Laser Engraver to engrave a design onto cast acrylic, and take home your very own edge lit LED lamp with your custom image! Ticket purchase includes all supplies and both instructional days, you just need to provide the image and design idea.

NOTE: This is a two day class. Saturday, December 10 and Sunday December 11.

Day1, we will go over safety and how to use the Epilog Helix laser engraver. The instructor will examine your design and provide feedback to ensure the highest quality result. Day 2, we will engrave your image and assemble the lamp.

Day 1:

• Learn basic operations of the Epilog laser cutter/engraver

• Create custom design in COREL Draw

• Adjust design and settings for highest quality result

Day 2:

• Double check settings and confirm design

• Cut out and engrave design onto acrylic and clean up acrylic as needed

• Test out the design in the LED lamp

Before class: Download image or design idea to a USB or be able to login to an email and download the image concept. If you are unable to download or create a specific design, have a very detailed idea in mind and email it ahead of time to info@laceymakerspace.org. If needed, provide references in the form of links or photos. The best format would be SVG files or PDF files.

NOTE: This is a two-day class, 12/10 and 12/11, 3 pm - 5 pm each day. Your ticket purchase covers both days. Ticket includes all materials required for one project.
