One of their creative projects includes laser engraving and marking computer and other electrical components with the amount of electricity and power used to create them, in order to increase environmental awareness amongst consumers.

Meet Fred

Fred is one of the first laser users at Fab Lab London and has been testing out the laser on the large stock of recyclable cardboard which is available next to the laser for guests to unleash their creativity on.

Fred has a huge collection of vinyl records and he is currently making dividers for them out of cardboard on the Speedy 300 laser cutter.
