Re: Laser Cutter Suggestions

There's a lasercutter in the lab I work in which 4464 is making good use of. No, it can't cut metal, but honestly if you're creative and you know the properties of your materials, it's surprising the number of things you can do without metal. We mainly use it for delrin, and it's incredibly useful. Sure, it'd be nicer if we could CNC metal parts, but we're doing some pretty cool stuff with delrin.
