  • Photos of our laser cutter

    Finally some pictures of Generator’s laser cutter in action! Our Epilog laser cutter arrived late in February and we have been playing with it (practically non-stop) since then. Matthew Thorsen stopped by on Monday and took some pictures of us cutting the Generator logo into a scrap of wood for the Seven Days article:
