Almost every field considered to encompass a STEM career includes jobs and responsibilities that include laser systems as a key part of their function. The biotech industry utilizes laser systems for clean cutting in its clean rooms. Computer hardware engineers use lasers to mark prototypes and manufacture precision parts. Industrial engineers use laser cutters to manufacture specialized components for their projects. We've even seen rocket scientists use laser cutters and engravers on almost every part they create.
Laser cutters and engravers have become more available than ever, and availability continues to increase. One of the continuing trends in most technological developments involves components shrinking and getting smaller. Traditional tools can only keep up for so long before their physical size prevents them from being useful tools. Laser systems produce clean and precise consistent cuts, all with minimal maintenance.
Incorporating laser systems into STEM curriculum and education, whether gantry-style CO2 laser cutters and engravers, or fiber optic/UV systems using galvanometers (also known as "Galvo"), will provide students with work experience for some Knowledge and understanding of systems that the person may continue to use in future careers.
In addition to the valuable knowledge they will gain from working with laser cutters and engravers, being able to quickly cut components to meet the specific needs of their projects, rather than purchasing components that may not fully meet specifications, will allow students to innovate from one Just start. This will help them motivate themselves to create solutions for their own situations.
If you find yourself looking for a new laser for your STEM project, you'll quickly discover that there are many different options on the market. This can be very intimidating for someone who doesn't know where to start.
Before you start looking, you should consider the following:
Budget: The first step should be to determine the budget allotted to you for purchasing a new laser system. Don't forget to consider possible grants or financing options if you feel your budget is limited.
Workspace: See where this laser system should go. Is there enough floor space for a larger system, or do you only have desk or countertop space to install it?
Ventilation: Will this laser system be installed in an area with easy ventilation? Lasers inherently burn and ablate the materials they come in contact with, and you should make sure you have a working HVAC system, or have a door or window nearby that can divert fumes. If none of these are options, a smoke extraction system can be purchased with your laser system, which will pull out all harmful fumes through a series of filters. If you need a range hood, don't forget to factor it into your budget.
Maintenance: Make sure you have people on staff who can learn and maintain these laser systems. It's something anyone can do, but it takes a little learning. If you're not sure about this, make sure to buy a laser system from a company that can provide support.
Education: Whether it's for you or a student, it's critical to understand the ins and outs of a laser system before getting started. Safety is a big concern when working with laser systems, so the more you know, the safer you will be.
