I am a Scientist using my technical and software skills and experience to explore creative ways to use carbon dioxide gas lasers to cut and etch a variety of materials to produce artwork.

The makerspace laboratory facility I belong to that maintains an pair of Boss Laser LS-2436 CO2 lasers is Build, RVA. 

1. Display photos and videos of both the laser in action cutting stencils and the finished plexiglass products.

2. Display photos and videos of the Cricut and Silhouette cutters in action.

3. Document my progress in the Makerspace Lab and Studio 23.

4. Provide lessons learned and relevant resources for the software required to produce designs that the laser can cut or etch.

5. Provide lessons learned and relevant resources for running the lasers.

6. Advise on usage of the Silhouette Cameo and Cricut Explore Air 2 vinyl and paper cutters and the controlling software
