Zia, Jeremy, and Claudia's photograph laser cut in 20 minutes!!
One of the topics we have been discussing extensively in this course is laser cutting. Last week we visited a laser cutting lab in Cambridge called Danger! Awesome that was started by a few recent MIT graduates. We were shown the laser cutting process and talked about approaches to cutting materials successfully. We met with Nadeem Mazen and he demonstrated how the machines worked and trained the students so they could use them in future projects. It’s a great local resource for laser cutting in the Boston area and a fun place to stop by and visit! Some photos of our trip below (more photos on my flickr page!).
My personal favorite, the laser cut pumpkin.
