Info on Laser Cutter Re-training

We anticipate offering re-training classes for existing laser users starting at the end of March. We will send info on those classes to all users who were badged for the previous laser soon.

All users must take a re-training class before they can begin using the new laser- this class will cover the new software, new safety features, and tell you everything you need to know to get started with the new xTool laser. These classes will specifically be for individuals who have already earned their Laser Badge. We will offer a full intro course for new laser users closer to summer.
