One of the most beloved machines in any FabLab? The laser cutter!
\r\nFast, precise, and incredibly versatile, laser cutters are used daily for prototyping, signage, model-making and much more. But to truly get the most out of them, makers rely on clever tools \u2013 printable add-ons that simplify setup, improve safety, organize materials, and make laser workflows smoother and more efficient.\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
