  • Consumables of the lasers (Lenses, Mirrors, Laser Tubes, Supplies, etc)

Welcome to the World of DMS Lasering!
Congratulations on finding our Source page, the official record of the committee and chock full of useful information for members. Makers are always learning, so there will be changes as the Laser Committee becomes more knowledgeable about operation and maintenance.

Frequent changes makes it difficult for you, our members, to stay up to date. Fortunately, technology makes it easy. Simply Watch this page to receive change notices by email. Help govern the area by joining the Laser Committee, there's always room for more people.

Check the calendar for meeting times or find us online. Most meetings are followed up by a brief maintenance day and are a great opportunity to learn more about the lasers. Happy Lasering!

    Hello 

    I have been a new member for 2 weeks and I wanted to ask if there is anyone who could help me with my first laser engraving on a tumbler. I just want to be close to someone who is going to work this week. I have some experience with laser machines because I have one at home but it does not engrave on "not flat" surfaces.

    Thank you!!
