TADD 3668 TAD LAB: Laser (2 credits)
There has never been a better time to learn about and try Laser cutting and etching. This course draws a roadmap for getting started with Laser, which is also known as additive manufacturing). This course will discuss the different Laser operations used for Vector graphics (cutting) and Raster graphics (etching). Students will learn how to properly prepare digital files for projects of their own creation and operate laser equipment. Knowledge of materials and how to apply them is also an important part of this course. This TAD Lab is a hands-on production-based course that walks students through a step-by-step process of Laser cutting.
