Hourly Laser Access
Hourly Laser Access: Pay-As-You-Go Fabrication in DTLA
For freelancers, students, and small business owners in Los Angeles, access to high-end manufacturing tools often comes with a steep price tag or rigid contracts. American Laser Cutter breaks down these barriers with our Hourly Laser Access program, providing on-demand fabrication capabilities without the commitment of a monthly membership or a five-figure machine purchase.
Flexible Fabrication on Your Terms
Our hourly model is built for agility. Whether you need a machine for a single hour to cut a prototype or a full day to run a production batch, you pay only for the time you book.
No Monthly Fees: Unlike traditional makerspaces that require expensive subscriptions, our shop is open to the public on a simple pay-as-you-go basis.
Scalable Production: Scale your access up or down instantly. Need to rush a holiday order? Book consecutive slots. Have a quiet month? Pay nothing.
Total Cost Control: Know your fabrication costs upfront. Our flat hourly rates make it easy to budget for client projects or student assignments.
Industrial Power at Your Fingertips
Hourly access doesn't mean compromising on quality. When you book a slot, you are reserving a workstation equipped with professional-grade machinery designed for speed and precision.
Heavy-Duty Equipment: Utilize 100W to 180W COâ‚‚ lasers that can cut through thick materials like 3/4" acrylic and hardwoods with ease.
Large Format Beds: Our 48" x 60" work envelopes allow you to process full sheets of material, maximizing your yield and reducing the need for pre-cutting stock.
Professional Software: All stations run LightBurn, giving you industry-standard control over your cut paths, nesting, and engraving settings.
Perfect For:
Freelance Designers: Create custom packaging, signage, or branding materials for clients without overhead.
Architecture Students: Access a machine during finals week when university labs are overcrowded or closed.
Production Overflow: Local job shops can use our machines to handle excess work during peak seasons without buying new equipment.
