We also have attachments for round objects, like water bottles, and long objects, like surfboards. The laser cutter uses XTool Studio, which is free and downloadable (see below for a get-started guide). The laser cutter can be used to cut premade designs or cut designs created entirely by you. Either way, this tool is incredibly versatile and allows for easy customization.<\/p>\n<p>This tool requires assistance from a staff member and is only available Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
