Everything Else

Hello and welcome to the Glowforge community. I was in the same boat last year.

The Glowforge community is an incredible place with the most incredible people. The research feature on these forums is the very best. There will always be other community members that are very happy to help. You can also private message any one of us. Just click on our name.

Stay active in the community and you will be rewarded with friendships, humor, and the very best education about the Glowforge and everything that is associated with lasering.

Think of the Glowforge community as a very prestigious Ivy league college.

I use an iPad. Apps for the iPad ——Affinity Designer, Vectornator , Concepts

Udemy.com and skillshare.com are websites that offer online classes to learn all of these different programs and apps.

Here are a few website links that are very helpful.
