DIY Laser Cutting (By Appointment)

Reserve time on our equipment to run your own laser jobs under a straightforward, supervised process. Sessions are by appointment only at our Downtown Los Angeles shop. Bring your AI, DXF, or PDF files and laser-safe material, or request standard stock options in advance.

How it works:

• Book an appointment time.

• Arrive with vector-ready files and materials.

• We verify laser-safe status and review your layout.

• You run your cuts/engraves with guidance on safe operation.

What to bring:

• AI/DXF/PDF files with cut and engrave layers labeled

• Material details (type, sheet size, thickness)

• Project dimensions and quantities

Best practices:

• Convert fonts to outlines.

• Maintain proper spacing between parts.

• Indicate any holes/slots and overall dimensions.

• Keep minimum stroke widths appropriate to material.

Use cases:

• Makers and artists testing batches

• Students finalizing studio projects

• Startups iterating on panels and enclosures

• Event teams producing signage sets

Request an appointment and submit your AI/DXF/PDF via the quote form or email with project notes and material details. Because sessions are reserved, please arrive prepared so you can make the most of your time. Visits are by appointment only.
