Student looking to rent a Laser?

Our Laser rental service, which is located right next to USC in downtown Los Angeles, has a variety of large-scale lasers available to rent when your school machines are down or you just don't have access. It's great that schools like USC have their own laser cutting labs, but students constantly come to us as their machines go down, and they just don't have good access. With our DIY laser cutter rental program, you don't have to wait till the last second in order to get your project done. In fact, you could rent multiple machines at once and be done rapidly.

Laser down at your maker space?

If the laser is down at your school’s laser cutting lab, or if your maker space or hacker space laser cutter is down, feel free to reach out — we always have machines available.

Why Rent a Laser Cutter from Us?

1. Access to Professional-Grade Equipment

We provide access to high-powered 100W CO₂ laser cutters — the same machines we use for client jobs. These aren’t hobby-level machines — you’re working with real commercial hardware, featuring:

• Large cutting bed (up to 46” x 58”)

• Smooth, precision motion system

• Clean optics and high-power output

• Compatible with a wide range of materials

  (wood, acrylic, leather, etc.)

You don’t need to invest in a $10,000+ machine to

get professional results.

2. Affordable, Hourly Pricing

Our rental rates are designed with students, designers, and

small business owners in mind:

• Flat hourly rates starting at just $49.00 an hour

  ($49.00 an hour for the 100 Watt laser cutter for the

  machines above 100 watts are $69.00 an hour)

• Student discounts with a valid .edu email

• No hidden setup or machine fees

• Optional materials available on-site

Only pay for the time you use. No commitment. No contract.

No maintenance worries.

3. Learn by Doing — With Support

Whether you’re brand new to laser cutting or already experienced

With LightBurn, we make sure your session is successful:

• Brief orientation or file check for first-timers

• Friendly, on-site support staff

• Bring your own file or get help preparing it beforehand

You’re in control — but not on your own.

4. Perfect for School Projects,

Small Runs & Experiments

USC? UCLA? Otis? CalArts? We’ve helped students from across Los Angeles complete:

• Architecture models

• Engineering prototypes

• Fashion cutouts and leatherwork

• Product packaging and custom branding

• Signage and event materials

If you need to make something today without waiting on production queues, DIY laser rental gives you that freedom.

5. No Surprise Restrictions

Unlike some maker spaces, we don’t limit your materials unnecessarily — and we keep our machines clean and calibrated. You’re not fighting for time or struggling with damaged gear.

We allow:

• Most plywood, acrylics, leather, chipboard, paper

• You can bring your own or purchase from us

• Use your laptop or our on-site machine

(We do not allow metal, PVC, or toxic plastics — for safety.)

— Carlos M., USC architecture student

“Being able to use a real machine without waiting days for production was a game-changer. It’s like having my own workshop — but way cheaper.”
