LC_P: Laser Cutting Exotic Materials - EVA, Craft Foam, Cosplay

Join us for another class in our series on Exotic Materials Techniques for the Laser Cutter. In this class, we will discuss ethylene vinyl Acetate (EVA) foam, commonly known as craft foam. EVA form is available in a variety of colors and thicknesses and can be painted. Using the laser cutter, you can achieve a higher level of precision and repeatability, while saving time and effort.

This class includes both a discussion and hands-on practice. However, the class fee does not include materials. Materials are available at cost so you can try practicing the techniques.

Craft foam example projects are here. 

Thicker EVA foam has been used to create cosplay costumes. See examples here.

To Bring: Bring your own digital art files if you wish to try engraving on one of the projects. (optional) Bring some materials for practice if you wish.

Prerequisites: None
