School & University Projects

Support class builds, clubs, and studio work with precise laser-cut and engraved parts. We produce consistent results from clear vector files in AI, DXF, or PDF. Students and instructors may provide their own laser-safe materials, or we can use standard stock options.

What we make:

  • Panels, brackets, and flat components defined by your vector

  • Signage for showcases and events

  • Nameplates and labels for organization

  • Presentation boards with engraved text/graphics

Submission tips:

  • Convert type to outlines.

  • Separate cut and engrave layers.

  • Include overall dimensions, quantities, and material specs.

  • Keep minimum feature sizes appropriate to your material thickness.

Benefits to teams:

  • Reliable fit between parts

  • Repeatable geometry for spares

  • Clean labeling for check-ins and demos

This service fits coursework deadlines and club schedules by producing exactly what your file defines—no changes, no surprises. If your project includes multiple variants, label each within the file to streamline batching.

Submit AI/DXF/PDF via the quote form or email with quantities and material notes. Our shop is in Downtown Los Angeles; visits are by appointment only. If supplying materials, confirm laser-safe status and provide sheet size and thickness.

Use Case: Laser Cutting for School and University Projects

Overview

We assist students, educators, and research teams with laser-cut fabrication for academic projects. From structural models to engineering prototypes, our service delivers clean, precise results ideal for design validation, visual presentation, and experimentation.

Scenario

An engineering student team is building a small-scale wind tunnel for a university capstone project. They need custom-cut acrylic panels, brackets, and mounts to assemble the testing chamber.

We laser cut each component directly from their digital design files, ensuring exact fit and smooth edges for airtight assembly. The team receives clearly labeled parts and can quickly test airflow without additional machining or sanding. The precision of the cuts allows easy adjustments for future iterations.

What Clients Receive

  • Accurate laser-cut parts ready for immediate assembly

  • Support for academic materials like acrylic, plywood, and cardboard

  • Clean edges and consistent sizing for prototypes and display models

  • Batch labeling for organized group work

  • Fast turnaround to meet project deadlines

Benefits

  • Ideal for architecture, engineering, and design courses

  • Reduces time spent on manual fabrication

  • Enables accurate scientific testing and visual demonstration

  • Perfect for model making, robotics, or mechanical assemblies
