DIY Laser Engraver

Daniel Wimmer
in Assemblies
19 4 Beginner
The DIY Laser Engraver is a simple tutorial, that shows you how to build your own fully operational Laser engraver. It's an Arduino Uno based model, that can learn you many things about electronics and mechanical engineering. Through the Laser you can engrave wood and some plastics. Be careful and use eye-protection, it is dangerous to use lasers.

Understanding Design & Process of DMLS 3D Metal Printing

Stratasys
in 3D Printing
14 0 Intermediate
Over the last decade, metal 3D printing has seen significant growth and evolution in the additive manufacturing landscape. Major players like NASA and GE have incorporated additive metals into their programs, aided by industry-wide material development and process research. Additive metal parts are seen more and more in end-use production. This tutorial covers Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) design constraints and freedoms, available metal materials and the process controls that deliver incredible metal parts.

AutoDesk Inventor Laser Cutting Tutorial - PVCC

Ben Casto
in Composites
4 0 Beginner
This is a simple tutorial to laser cut parts using Inventor. This method circumnavigates the need for Illustrator by enabling the user to 'print' their cut directly from a pdf viewer that enables vector graphics such as Adobe Acrobat. The tutorial was put together for use by Piedmont Virginia Community College (PVCC) students and staff but should work similarly with other setups.
