Create boxes and more with a lasercutter

Florian Festi

Laser cutters get more and more common in hacker and maker spaces around the world - and rightly so. They are amazing machines that are fast, precise, versatile and easy to use. This talk will get give a quick introduction into laser cutting and will show a few examples what a laser cutter can do.

After the basics I will show how to create your own boxes using an on-line box generator - well my on-line box generator Boxes.py. We will go over the important parameters and commonly used boxes, trays, shelves and other helpers. The talk will not go into how to write your own box generator but it may give you a reason to want to.
