The crowdfunding will be use as followed:

- The laser cutter and its air filter will cost approximately 4000 euros

- We will also need to buy additional materials to build our crowdfunding prizes, costs will be around 600 euros

But hey ! You haven't told us yet what is a laser cutter ?

Laser cutter is a machine that cut materials like woods or metals with a laser. It is used in industrial manufacturing, but is also starting to be used in schools, small businesses, and by any persons who are curious about new technologies. Laser cutting direct the output of a high-power laser most through optical lens.

Thanks to, Adel one of our member , who made this vidéo to show what a laser is (in French but you get the idea):

A few things our members did with the laser cutter we previously owned:

If you give us 10 euros:

You'll be invited to thank you party for your help and you will receive your surprise gift either cut by our laser cutter or printed by our 3d printer.

For bigger pledges, we will set short trainings on Arduino , Raspberry Pi or PureData. The trainings will teach you how to start numerical programmning and carry either by yourself or with family (see list of pledges on your right).

Come to the lab to build objects you dreamt of. We will offer you trainings on :

How to use the laser cutter and its software.
How to use the 3d printer and how to program an electronic device to start a connected object !
How to mix electronic and music programming to start a musical electronic device !

- Come to the lab with your family ! Kids and parents will be able to learn how to protoype an object and see how our machines in action.

Our training are opened to anyone ! We have people who will able to help you technically.

If we reach our target, what will we do with the extra cash?

We reach 7000€ : We will buy a CNC

We reach 8000€ : We will try to buy a unicorn

We reach 10 000€ : We will try to buy two unicorns

PS: We will carry our training in French as our main audience is French. If you can't speak French, we can help but mostly to translate (technical) words in English, the whole training will still be done in French.
