This assessment measures your awareness of the policies and procedures involved with using the laser cutter. Use the SADR Digital Fabrication Lab Handbook as your study guide. All questions have been generated directly from the handbook. You may take this quiz as many times as you need to. A score of 90% is required to pass.

Upon successful completion, you will become an "Authorized Laser Cutter User". This grants you the privilege of using the laser cutters in the SADR Digital Fabrication Lab while the manager or tech on staff is physically in the room and able to assist.
