Cutting Edge: Innovations in Laser Cutting Technologies Workshop

On July 29th and 30th, 2024, the Department of Communication Design at Chitkara Design School, in collaboration with the Central Prototyping Facility, NewGen-IEDC, organised the “Cutting Edge: Innovations in Laser Cutting Technologies Workshop” at Chitkara University. The resource person for this workshop was Mr. Chanpreet Singh, Project Manager at CURIN, Chitkara University, Punjab. This workshop provided a platform for the students to learn and perform with an advanced laser cutting machine.

Throughout the two-day event, the students learned the fundamental principles and applications of laser cutting. They also understood the entire workflow, from conceptualizing and preparing 2D designs using design software to setting up and executing precise cuts on materials using laser cutting machines. Additionally, the students learned the creative and technical aspects of this powerful technology.

It was a rewarding experience to see students bring their ideas to life, transforming abstract designs into physical objects with precision and efficiency. The skills they learned during this workshop will empower them to innovate and push boundaries in their future design projects. This event not only fostered creativity but also equipped students with practical knowledge of prototyping, providing them with the tools they need to succeed in the rapidly evolving world of design and fabrication.
