Before we can accept this donation, we need to do 2 things:


* Get someone who knows enough about structural engineering to look at the place we want to use the laser cutter at Noisebridge, and let us know if the floor can handle the 1,000 pounds weight of the machine.
'''Some friends of Noisebridge from China have donate a really nice brand new, fully supported, laser cutter to Noisebridge!'''
* Raise $4,000 for shipping, import tax, and warranty maintenance charge.  This will get the laser to us, and give us full support from Kaitian.


<br>
'''You need training to use this laser; see the [[Laser Manual]] for details.'''
Before we can actually use the laser cutter, we need to:


* Build a room for it, with some sound insulation and ventilation that can handle the fumes.
In February of 2016 we were approached by [http://www.kaitianlaser.com/ Beijing Kaitian Tech. Co., Ltd], after Mitch gave them a tour of Noisebridge they offered us a new 100w laser cutter as a donation (with the stipulation of us taking care of shipping costs). As of July 1st 2016 (and after a crazy adventure involving a rental truck, a forklift, and a lot of Indian pizza), we now have the laser in house. Please check out our action items to see what needs to happen next.
* Come up with a plan for the room, and raise funds for buildout of the room.

Kaitian CM1309

Some friends of Noisebridge from China have donate a really nice brand new, fully supported, laser cutter to Noisebridge!

You need training to use this laser; see the Laser Manual for details.

In February of 2016 we were approached by Beijing Kaitian Tech. Co., Ltd, after Mitch gave them a tour of Noisebridge they offered us a new 100w laser cutter as a donation (with the stipulation of us taking care of shipping costs). As of July 1st 2016 (and after a crazy adventure involving a rental truck, a forklift, and a lot of Indian pizza), we now have the laser in house. Please check out our action items to see what needs to happen next.
