Laser Cutter Appointments for the Holidays

The holidays are our busiest time of year! To help you plan ahead, we are temporarily requiring laser cutter appointments from November 17 - January 9.

Appointments are for one hour, including setup time.

All other equipment is first-come, first-served.

Collaboratory hours:

  • Sunday and Monday: Closed
  • Tuesday-Thursday: 10am-8pm
  • Friday: 10am-5pm
  • Saturday: 10am-4pm

Guidelines

Limits: One appointment per household scheduled at a time.

Arrive design-ready, or come in early: Your design must be final (correct size, no edits) and ready within 15 minutes of your appointment start time, or your appointment will be forfeited.

Be on time: Appointments are forfeited 15 minutes after start time.

Bringing your own materials? View our guide about what materials we allow in the laser cutter.
