I’ve had a blast with my Glowforge Aura this past month. It’s been a fun journey learning how to set it up (tip… take your time or it will take twice as long), cutting my first project, figuring out the nuances of the Glowforge web app, and learning how to design my own projects in Canva.

What Is a Glowforge?
Glowforge is a brand of laser cutters that will take ordinary raw materials and turn them into amazing creations. I currently have the more economical model, Aura, and it’s been a fun addition to my maker setup at home.
A few of the materials you can cut include:
- Leather
- Acrylic
- Wood
- Paper
- Iron-On
And more!
Not only can you cut, but you can also engrave on a variety of materials. The Glowforge can engrave on all the above plus glass, coated metal, marble, anodized aluminum, titanium, some…
