Kursinnehåll: Curious about the laser cutter ?
Inkscape is a free open source vector graphic program that can prepare files for laser cutting. We go at beginner level through what is needed to know to get files ready for laser cutting.

This is not a laser cutting course, there will be a laser cutting course running after this. This course is designed specifically for those who have not worked with vector graphic software with a focus on how to prep for laser cutting. I use Inkscape as it is a free open source version of the more well known Adobe Illustrator.

We go from the start and look at software installation, explore the interface, what is the difference between vector
and bitmap then look how to make designs and files ready for export to the laser cutter. Having a good understanding of vector software opens the door to doing fun things on the laser like making blocks for printmaking, stamps for clay, rapid prototyping and much more.

Förberedelser: You should have a laptop and mouse or drawing tablet, inkscape is not available on i pad. If needed there can be a few extra computers set up but nice to try and be set up on your own computers if possible. Contact me before ifthere are some issues there.

The course breaks down into 3 evenings spread over 3 weeks from the start of October and aims to have you competent to prepare designs and files to export to things like the laser cutter. Keep your eyes peeled for a lasercourse coming shortly after probably a the start of November
