 \n# What is Laser cutting?\n\n● CO2 gas mixture is energized,releases infrared light  \n● Light is reflected and amplified intoa focused beam  \n● The beam melts,or vaporizesmaterial  \n● Tune power,speed,and frequencyfor cut quality  \nMiror  \nAir assist  \n● Certain lasers are more powerfulthan others,allowing you to cut alarger variety of material  \nRequires vector files(Ai,DXF,SVG)to properly interpret cut &engravedata  \n● Often used to automate large scaleproduction/manufacturing sincethey can provide consistent results  \n● Custom designs &displays  \n● Used to cut small pieces thatrequire high precision  \n● Engraving Jewelry  \n● Personal projects &Prototyping  \n# Rapid Prototyping Center(RPC\n\n● The Angel P.Bezos Rapid  \nPrototyping Lab is a state of the artmakerspace in the E.A.FernandezIDEA Factory.  \n● Here,students will have a safeenvironment where they can learnhow to operate a variety ofmanufacturing tools that can beused to make any design come tolife.  \n● The capabilities of this lab include3D printing,laser cutting,3Dscanning,water jetting,and basicelectronics.If you are alreadytrained,make a reservation on ourcalendar to get making!  \n● First time users come stop by thelab for a tour and learn how toreserve machines!  \n# Epilog Overview\n\no We are using the Epilog75W Class 2 CO2 laser  \no When all the safetyfeatures are working.Everyday examples ofthese types of lasersinclude laser pointers andrange finding equipment  \n● People typically use it tocut out enclosure parts,engrave gifts or jewelry,orcreate awards  \n● Operates similarly to a CNC router,except instead of a drill bit,it useshigh energy focused light to  \nvaporize material in localized areas(the laser beam has approx.diameter of 2 human hairs at itsthinnest point!It's like an incrediblysharp and thin knife)  \n# Material Safety\n\n● Epilog is not rated to cut thickermaterial.Avoid anything mthickerthan /4”  \n● Certain materials release harmfulgases when cut like ABS(chlorinegas)and PVC(Hydrogen Cyanide)  \n● Can only engrave certain materialslike metals,glass,and ceramic andcannot cut them  \n● Do not ever cut or engrave thesematerials  \n● Some materials the epilog canengrave and cut are Wood,Acrylic,Cardboard,Cork,and Natural leather  \n● In an emergency,utilize theemergency stop button on themachine  \n# Machine Safety\n\n● Always watch the machine as itcuts,do not leave it unattended  \n● Excessive power or too low of a  \nspeed can burn the material and  \nstart a fire  \n● If you are unsure of an operatingprocedure or material safety,always ask a technician for help.  \n● Despite the protective  \npolycarbonate windows,excessiveeye contact with the laser as it cutsmay cause eye damage  \nTERRAPIN  \nNow let's get started on creatingyour metal business cards!","cbCaiqZ4WzvHWRgZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqZ4WzvHWRgZ","pdf",5197842,"English","# What is Terrapin Works?\n# What is Laser cutting?\n# Rapid Prototyping Center (RPC\n# Epilog Overview\n# Material Safety\n# Machine Safety","[{\"question\":\"What vector file types are required for laser cutting and engraving?\",\"answer\":\"Vector files such as AI, DXF, and SVG are required to properly interpret cutting and engraving data.\"},{\"question\":\"What safety rules apply for material thickness and hazardous materials?\",\"answer\":\"Avoid materials thicker than 1/4”.
