The objectives of this session will be to describe the strategies and lessons learned that EH&S and their partners have developed to reduce the risks associated with laser cutter usage.  This session will cover some of the challenges EH&S has worked to overcome since the first laser cutter was purchased at Carnegie Mellon University in 2007 and still encounters today.  We will be presenting two case studies that demonstrate the unintended or unknown consequences of purchasing a laser cutter.  This session will be very useful for faculty and staff who support teaching, research, and maker spaces in an academic institution.<br/>

Are you ready to have a laser cutter in your makerspace? Think again!
