Laser Cutter Safety Training
October 11, 2026 · 2 PM
Noisebridge, 272 Capp St, San Francisco
Laser-cutter safety training covering hazards, safe operation and fire response, with each participant cutting cardboard and opportunities for project questions.
Practice laser-cutter safety by cutting cardboard and ask project-specific questions in training required to use the equipment, with a $5 registration fee and a suggested $20–30 donation.
Learn how to be safe while using the laser cutter! We have a 150W, CO2 laser cutter with a 3 x 4 ft bed. This training is required to use the laser cutter because we don't want people setting our most expensive equipment donation on fire. You have to do this training even if you were trained at the old space, as we have different safety features now. Training covers * Dangers of the laser cutter * How to be safe * How to put out a fire Each participant will cut a piece of cardboard on the laser cutter while following all the safety steps. This is also a good place to ask questions about specific materials or projects. There is a 5$ fee to register, and we suggest a 20-30$ donation for this class: https://donate.noisebridge.net. If the registration fee is a barrier to your participation, please reach out to the event organisers.
