Unlock the Power of Your Laser Cutter:
Your Path to Mastering Laser Productivity
Embark on a journey to enhance your laser cutter productivity and maximise your time and projects with Squircle Learning.
Our exclusive and comprehensive professional development courses are designed to be easy to understand and implement.
Learn as You Go
vs. Structured Learning
To operate your laser cutter or 3D Printer effectively, it is crucial to master two fundamental processes: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM). CAD involves designing your project, while CAM transforms that design into a finished product.
Understanding and applying these processes from the design stage to execution is essential for achieving high-quality results in your projects.
Our professional development courses cover understanding the CAM (your laser cutter or 3D Printer) and empowering you to produce exceptional results using the CAD (Adobe Illustrator or similar graphic software) so you can maximise your investment.
The courses are intended for teachers with a basic design and computer software understanding.
By the end of the course, you will be confident, well-informed, and empowered to use Adobe Illustrator or similar software to create project designs with your laser cutter.
Adobe Illustrator training is the cornerstone of successful laser cutting and engraving outcomes.
Squircle Learning’s Two-day Laser – Illustrator Professional Development (PD) Sessions are uniquely tailored for laser users and provide the skills and knowledge necessary for clean and flawless artwork creation for CO2 Laser Machines.
Feedback from participants highlights the training as a game-changer for mastering design techniques and the laser cutting process.
