Laser Cutter Training

This page documents the process for being trained to use the Jigsaw, and the list of members who have completed that training.

Summary

Training takes place in three main steps:

• Group Training of 1-4 members, going through the equipment and how to use it (~30 minutes)
• Individual Training Task, where an individual member is set a task to complete to prove and improve understanding (~10min each)
• Project Oversight, where more experienced users oversee the projects being undertaken when cutting (first 2-3 projects)

Training on the Jigsaw is run by the jigsaw Owners. The jigsaw Owners are a group of people responsible for maintaining and training of the jigsaw, and hence have been trained to train, and trained to perform the maintenance of the jigsaw.

Booking

Please contact an owner to arrange a training session.

Notes:

• You must do the group and individual training on the same day
