This class covers everything listed in the curriculum. We start with the basics and cover everything you will need to know to be fully capable of producing projects with your laser! A beginner would be someone with little to no experience with Adobe Illustrator, EzCad2, Inkscape, or laser experience.
This course caters to those with at least basic knowledge of operating a laser and some graphic design. You should have some familiarity Adobe Illustrator, EzCad2, Inksacape, and have some laser experience.
This course caters to those who already have strong skills with Adobe Illustrator, EzCad2, Inkscape, and are able to operate a laser fairly well. This course is designed to hone your skills and laser knowledge even further.
The laser is a 50w JPT Fiber laser. Your training will be done on the same laser.
Over three days, we will cover everything you need to know to operate your laser successfully. You will be able to start and complete projects the minute you return to your home or business! Classes will include, but not be limited to:
Calibration and alignment, functions of the hatch, line spacing, power, speed, and frequency, and how they work together.
How to mark or engrave steel, aluminum, silver, brass, copper, polymers, plastics, acrylics, and more.
Understanding and using Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape to create designs that the laser will recognize and duplicate.
Once your project is engraved, there are many ways to finish and detail, such as cerakote, polish, old penny, color backfill, etc. We will discuss the options and how to achieve them. (You will be allowed and encouraged to bring a project to train on.)
At the conclusion of training, you will be given a current copy of EzCad2 and a library of settings to install on your laser. These settings are for the laser to mark various materials.
If any areas were not addressed during the standard curriculum, we will try to address those as well — everyone’s direction for their business is different. We will help you with brand recognition and getting your name out there so you can start making money!
You will have after-class support as well. Laser Lab TX & Cerakote will be available for any questions you may have via email, text, or phone, or if needed, we can remotely help using Team Viewer.
