Description
Dado Workshop with Freeform Fabrication
Level: Intermediate/ Advanced/ Professional
CSSJ are delighted to invite Freefrom Fabrication in to their workshop to showcase their knowledge in laser welding. This workshop is designed to help you learn both basic & advanced laser welding techniques and from experts in their field. You will have a chance to work hands-on with the equipment and receive personalised instruction and guidance from the Freeform experts.
You will be guided through the different output settings for various methods to assist in the manufacturing and repair of jewellery where soldering may not be an option. You will then have the opportunity to practice repairing jewellery in silver, gold and platinum, working around stones, porosity repair and more. The Dado laser welder complements the traditional methods in the workshop and in many cases has advantages, primarily in its small size and small price making it an attractive alternative.
A message from Freeform Fabrication:
You’ll work hands on with the machine experimenting and exploring different applications and materials. The team encourage you to bring along some projects to try out such as re-tipping, ring sizing, jump & bolt ring securing, porosity repair, working around stones, chain repair or watch repairs. Bring along items in the style you like to work in and the materials you use every day to see what a laser welder can do for you.
What to bring:
- All tools and equipment are provided. We will have jump rings, chain, and sheet metal to complete some simple experiments and welds. Please bring your own projects and challenges to test out how the laser works for what you do.
