===Laser cutter===
The laser cutter is a machine that uses a laser to cut materials such as chip board, matte board, felt, wood, and acrylic up to 3/8" inch (1 cm) thickness. The laser cutter is often bundled with a driver software which interprets vector drawings produced by any number of CAD software platforms.
 
The laser cutter is able to modulate the speed of the laser head, as well as the intensity and resolution of the laser beam, and as such is able both cut and score material, as well as approximate raster graphics.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Automated Laser Cutting {{!}} Precision Metal Industries|url = http://www.pmiquality.com/services/automated-laser-cutting|website = www.pmiquality.com|access-date = 2016-02-17|first = Precision Metal|last = Industries}}</ref>
