+__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.
