Interview with Dan Shapiro, creator of the Glowforge laser cutter

@Skeptic

I meant that Glowforge is used to make signage, not that it is used to cut Vinyl. Nobody should ever cut vinyl with a laser cutter as it creates corrosive and toxic gas that hurts people and equipment. I’ll edit my post to note that.

ABS is also a potential toxic gotcha if burned or vaporized - the “A” is acrylonitrile, and “nitrile” is essentially a friendlier name for cyanide (generally used for organic functional groups covalently bonded to the CN radical rather than metals ionically bonded to it).
