I have been using the laser cutter to cut words out for gifts. This one was schwag that was left over after one of the fashion shows. The font is Zapfino, with canals removed from the font to support the counters. That was done in illustrator. I am planning on actually making a proper font out of that technique: Stencilino.
A little sculpture made from interlocking squares of deli-tray foam cut with my DIY laser cutter. Each square is about 3cm on a side. Material is about 5mm thick. The laser cuts the squares in about 30 seconds and there are 18 squares, so about 10 minutes total (including positioning the material) to cut all the pieces. No way I could cut these with an X-acto knife in that amount of time or with anywhere close to the precision this rig can. The machine has a resolution of .004" on each axis, and repeatability of better than .008". Beam diameter is about .010". The parts are, for all practical purposes, identical.
A couple of laptop stand designs prototyped by myself and Will Kemper. These all rely on finger joints cut with the laser cutter. The laser cutter takes out a small curf, so this has to be accounted for.
A padhack (device which converts arcade control signals into input that can be recognized by game consoles) that I built for myself recently. I decided to treat it as a portfolio project, so I strove for a high quality professional-looking product.
The whole thing is custom designed around the components (2x Akishop PS360+ PCBs and a Jammaboards JB-2 fingerboard). The top and bottom plates are laser cut acrylic, with my personal logo etched into the surface. It came out much nicer than I was expecting, and I've had several requests to build them for others.

A couple of months ago I purchased a Sandisk Cruzer Slice USB drive. It originally had a slide-in-slide-out function, however fairly quickly the locking mechanism failed and you had to hold the little release handle tight to stop it closing when plugging it into a USB slot - something that got old very quickly. So I thought it was time to give it a new case :) Laser cut from 3mm acrylic - clear top and bottom with a red core & flame.

Come make your own gadget, robot or wearable art with Arduino at Tam Makers!
We hosted a number of maker classes and workshops for adults and teens in our makerspace at Tam High School. During our Arduino 101 classes and ‘You Can Make It’ workshops, participants learned to build new projects using the popular Arduino boards, with guidance from our staff and other community members.
Many of our members are experienced makers, who are happy to share what they know. Some of the cool maker projects they built together include a graceful robot spider, an eagle god with creepy eyes, an Arduino-powered garage opener, a Wifi server on a chip, and more.
If you are interested in creating your own maker project with the help of others, join our Maker Clubs on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 9pm in the woodshop at Tam High School in Mill Valley.

Many of them are experienced makers, who are happy to share what they know. Here are some of the cool maker projects they are working on this month: a graceful robot spider, an eagle god with creepy eyes, an Arduino-powered garage opener, a Wifi server on a chip, and many laser cut picture frames.
If you are interested in creating your own maker project with the help of others, join us this fall, on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 9pm in the woodshop at Tam High School in Mill Valley. Learn more about You Can Make It:

One of the great benefits of this open shop program is that you get a lot more than just access to tools: you join a community of makers who like to make things together and help each other.

I'm sure there is some practical use for this shape but I haven't figured it out yet :-P

don't. just don't. this is one of my favorite signs ever; I think I like it so much because it's what every IT manager would like to say to the people who have to use the systems: "don't touch it"

Images document training sessions organized by Live Architecture Network August 2009 at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalunya.
The FabLab is an interactive exhibition and workshop space at the Ars Electronica Center. It is all about design, production processes and tools, reaching from different design software via a laser cutter which cuts and engraves, to a 3-D printer which realizes digital models as physical objects.
