Explore the only professional-grade Epilog Helix Laser Cutter/Engraver available in Fairfield County for public use (with a Library card).
The 80-Watt Epilog Helix Laser Cutter/Engraver is capable of engraving and cutting a wide variety of materials, including wood, acrylics, plastics, slate, leather, glass, and much more. The machine takes the images you typically print to paper, and instead of printing dots of ink, it fires a CO2 laser beam that laser engraves, cuts, and etches your design onto your object or material. Make engraved cutting boards, wine glasses, coasters, doormats—the options are endless.
