Training Sessions

Prior to use, __Space.URI requires training for the Large Format Printer and the Laser Engraver/Cutter. We must have at least two people to run a training session. Please see our calendar (link) to register.

Laser Engraver/Cutter

The __Space.URI Laser Engraver/Cutter is a GCC LaserPro Spirit LS. It is a shared resource offering the University Community the ability to work with a piece of common fabrication equipment in a supportive academic atmosphere. We ask potential users to realize they are responsible for any works made with the machine, at no point will __Space.URI staff be expected to create or run any project. We are unable to assist in the design process at this time.

Safety training is required for ANY potential user (faculty/staff/student) prior to using the Laser Engraver/Cutter. Training will be performed by a __Space.URI employee skilled with the equipment and software (CorelDraw x7). This training will provide an overview of the machine, safety, and running a sample project. Once training is successfully completed users will be able to schedule time on the machine during __Space.URI hours.

Instruction lasts approximately one hour covering questions and running sample projects. Material for this session will be heavyweight paper. For approved materials for personal projects see the Laser Etching wiki.
