The laser cutting process, while amazing, is relatively simple to do. A laser cutter works by using a powerful laser to ingrave or to cut something out. You can laser cut many different types of materials like, wood, metal, and plastic. You use a software program,to make a file, to send to the laser cutter. For our laser cutting project, we used Google SketchUp to design our project. Laser cutting is a very practical thing, it can not only make fun, pretty, things, it can make very important things for medical use.
