S3E4 — 3D Fab Light: A Deep Dive Into Industrial Laser Cutters

The Edge

~Plus a visit to the SF Drone School and a look at the X-Class Drone Racing League~ In this episode, we learn about the world of industrial metal laser cutters with the 3D Fab Light team. What initially started as a project at Otherlab to make bicycle frame fabrication easier eventually spun out into a very capable (and highly specialized) 4-axis metal laser cutter. The Fab Light is actually so specialized that while it can cut through a ¼” piece of steel, it has a hard time cutting through cardboard! As we discover from 3D Fab Light engineers Joel Rosenberg and Ramya Swamy, it’s all in the wavelength. More info and show notes at bantamtools.com/theedge
