Interview with Dan Shapiro, creator of the Glowforge laser cutter

Is it really okay to laser cut vinyl? I’d always though it was either vinyl chloride or poly vinyl chloride, but either way, that chloride part wasn’t a good thing to be heating up with a laser.

Okay, exhaust it outside or through a charcoal filter and it’s someone else’s problem, but is it really something you want to be doing often?
