TRAINING: LASER CUTTER

In this training, we will show you how to use the laser cutters (Trotec & Thunderlaser) at Happylab for your projects!

The laser cutter is a versatile machine at Happylab! Our laser cutters can cut and engrave various materials such as wood, cardboard, plexiglass, leather, fabric, and metal with a focused infrared laser beam. Additionally, there are some materials that can only be engraved, like glass.
