__TOC__
Arguably the most popular tool at Protospace, the '''Laser Cutter''' uses a CO<sub>2</sub> laser to cut & engrave a variety of non-metal materials (though some metals can be engraved).
=== Software ===
We currently have '''LaserCut 5.3''' installed on the computer connected to the Laser Cutter. Unfortunately LaserCut 5.3 requires a USB dongle to be hooked up to the PC at all times as a form of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management DRM]. If you're running a personal copy you are restricted to a demo version (no saving - though there is a work around). Later versions (6.1+) have dropped the USB dongle requirement.

''LaserCut 5.3'' ([https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B7yyT7cWvyTVS0FZRnlvenJtRHc Google Drive], [http://www.leetro.com/english/down/productcatalog2015/SoftwareDriver/MPC6565/LaserCut5.3(V4408)-Installer.rar Direct from Leetro])
The full version, but requires a special SenseLock USB Dongle to be connected to the PC running it or the software is limited to a demo mode (which is still useful for familiarizing yourself with the program).
