Each layer is cut into paper with a CNC laser, then stacked into the completed artwork.<\/p>\n<p>The layers are conceived as \u201cevents\u201d in the vein of key-framing to create a consciously woven space. Because of Eric\u2019s labor-intensive process, his works take months and sometimes years to create.<\/p>\n<p>His compositions are determined by removing material from each sheet of paper, and pre-visualizing the sum of the layers as line, color and space. He does not use processing or algorithm-generated elements but instead draws each line with a conscious effort toward a holistic goal. Eric\u2019s technology-infused studio practice enables him to create complex artifacts within a realm of precision of that is often reserved for industry, mass production and scientific research.

to making money with a laser cutter there are two main methods; service provider and manufacturer. A service provider would provide laser cutting services to others who need laser-cut parts, while a manufacturer would focus on producing their own part for selling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">In order to provide laser cutting services, it is essential that customers have a wide range of material options as only focusing on a few materials will severely affect access to customers. However, stocking multiple materials may require multiple laser cutting machines as different laser technologies are good for different materials. For example, CO2 lasers are great for cutting leather and cardboard, but fiber lasers are more appropriate when cutting harder materials such as steel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">Being your own manufacturer means that you design a laser-cut product that you produce in mass and ship. As such, there is no requirement to stock a wide range of materials which significantly reduces the complexity of the setup (i.e., only one storage bin for material, and no need to check designs before they are manufactured). Such parts that could be produced include keyrings, picture frames, wooden coasters, and decorative cards. This business model, however, requires a marketplace to sell items that can prove to be challenging when competing with other manufacturers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"c3\"><span class=\"c9\">What products are made from laser cutting?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">Laser cutters are extremely versatile, quick, and efficient when compared to other manufacturing processes and as a result are used more often than one may think. As laser cutters generally only cut flat shapes, they are rarely used for parts with complex 3D features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">Laser cut parts generally include anything plastic in devices and enclosures (such as an edging), control panels, and gaskets for machinery. Laser cutters will also be found in artistic pieces that need intricate details that would normally be too difficult to produce using other manufacturing techniques (such as CNCs). One of the key benefits of using laser cutters in such applications is that laser cutters do not exert any mechanical force on the part being cut, and therefore extremely delicate parts can be laser cut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">Metallic enclosures found on PCBs are often made using laser cutters because they are generally very small, require engraved markings, and can be folded into a 3D shape. PCBs can also use laser cutting to produce solder stencils that allow machines to quickly cover all pads with solder without needing to target each pad individually.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"c3\"><span class=\"c9\">What materials can you cut with a laser printer?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">Just about any material that can be vaporized can be laser cut, but there are some limitations and safety factors that must be considered. Some materials can emit dangerous compounds when vaporized, and these are generally not laser cut. For example, leather treated with chromium cannot be laser cut due to the release of chromium (a carcinogen). Another example is PVC which can be cut with ease but releases hydrochloric acid and chlorine in the process which is extremely harmful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">Metals that are commonly cut with a laser cutter include<\/span><span class=\"c5\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/laser-cutting\/stainless-steel\" target=\"_blank\">steel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/laser-cutting\/metal\/copper\" target=\"_blank\">copper<\/a>, aluminum, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/laser-cutting\/metal\/brass\" target=\"_blank\">brass<\/a>. Cellulose materials commonly cut include paper, cardstock, cardboard, and wood. Plastic materials commonly laser cut include acrylic, acetal, and nylon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"c3\"><span class=\"c9\">How can a laser cutter help with projects?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">Laser cutters accessible to individuals are generally LED or CO2 with powers lower than 40W. Such laser cutters are ideal for cutting thin sheets of material such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/laser-cutting\/acrylic\" target=\"_blank\">acrylic<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/laser-cutting\/wood\" target=\"_blank\">wood<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/laser-cutting\/paper\" target=\"_blank\">paper<\/a>, but rarely useful for cutting metal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">Desktop laser cutters are perfect for rapid prototyping of new ideas and concepts, creating custom laser engraved panels, and for artistic purpose. Keeping the entire process in-house also removes the need for delivery waiting times meaning that prototypes can be developed faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">Furthermore, laser cut parts can even be used in production products as the quality of a single laser cut part is the same as one produced in the thousands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"c3\"><span class=\"c9\">Why use Ponoko laser cutting services for my next project?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">While laser cutters are available to individuals (such as the famous K40 laser cutter), they are not without their faults. One of the biggest challenges is getting the machines correctly configured which often requires improved extraction, refinement of mirrors, active water cooling, and correct beam focusing. To avoid many of these challenges, more expensive machines can be used, but the increased cost can be too much for those who might use the cutter for a handful of projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">Ponoko provides laser cutting services that remove all of these headaches by stocking a wide range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/materials\" target=\"_blank\">carefully chosen materials<\/a>, having multiple laser cutting machines of varying technologies, and trained operators who are able to ensure that each part produced falls within a set of tight tolerances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c2\"><span class=\"c5\">Not only does Ponoko offer high precision capabilities and fast delivery options, but they also allow for quantities from 1 to 10,000 meaning that projects can quickly be prototyped and then scaled as needed. \u00a0The machines used by Ponoko are far higher in power than those available to individual users which makes Ponoko services considerably faster when dealing with volume orders.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Start Making Your Own Laser Cutter Projects<\/h3>\n<p>Are you ready to start making?
