We use the Exploritorium’s light play activity to explore light and learn how to design and cut objects on the laser cutter. The laser-cutter is a versatile tool used throughout many shops. Having the capabilities to etch and cut on different materials such as: wood, acrylic and other thin materials.
The laser-cutter can engrave on wood, acrylic, fabric, glass, coated metals, ceramic, leather, marble, matte board, paper, melamine, press board, rubber, wood, veneer, fiberglass, painted metals, cork, anodized aluminum, stainless steel, brass, titanium, bare metals, and more.
Epilog Mini 24
24″ X 12″
8″ (203 mm) with a 23.5″ x 11.75″ (597 x 298 mm) engraving area

Intelligent Memory Capacity: Multiple file storage up to 64 MB. Rolling buffer allows files of any size to be engraved.
Air Assist: Attach an air compressor to our included Air Assist to remove heat and combustible gases from the cutting surface by directing a constant stream of compressed air across the cutting surface.
Laser Dashboard: The Laser Dashboard™ controls your Epilog Laser’s settings from a wide range of software packages – from design programs to spreadsheet applications to CAD drawing packages.
Red Dot Pointer: Since the laser beam is invisible, the Red Dot Pointer on Epilog’s Mini and Helix Lasers allows you to have a visual reference for locating where the laser will fire.
Relocatable Home: When engraving items that are not easily placed at the top corner of the laser, you can set a new home position by hand with the convenient Movable Home Position feature on the Legend Series Lasers.

Laser Cutter
Cardboard
2D design and vector shapes and figures onto cardboard.
Load cardboard into laser cutter bed. Flip the power switch ON on your laser cutter. (We are using a mini helix 24). Turn on the air compressor. Open design software and choose shape or image to vector. Import image into design program (we use CorelDraw). Simplify image if needed. Select Hairline and set print preferences to Vector (or combined if also engraving).
