Requirements
In order to use the Muse Laser Engraver, you must:
- Complete the following self-directed, online courses*:
- Demonstrate to Makerspace Staff your ability to use the Laser Engraver safely.
*You must show proof of completion of these courses. We suggest you take a screenshot or photo of the completed course as proof. If you create an account, it will keep track of your courses, although we have had users’ completed courses not show up in their account.
What You Need To Know
- The laser engraver must be used in the meeting room of the library due to noise. You may book the meeting room and engraver ahead of time to ensure it is available.
- Due to the nature of the laser engraver, Makerspace staff must be present when you use the machine until they are comfortable that you can use it unsupervised.
- The laser engraver uses RE3 software to control it. You can use one of our laptops or your own for this.
Materials
- The user provides the materials to engrave. The library may have some materials available at a cost.
- The user MUST ensure that all materials are safe for laser engraving. If there is any doubt, do not use the material.
