You will learn all the basics of how to use the software to operate the laser, all the steps to operate the machine, and what websites you can to go in the  future to find your own laser cutter projects. At the end of this class, you will know how to safely operate Mixxer's CO2  laser and create a weatherproof ceramic tile etched in titanium.
