* 6/27/2019 Universal was repaired by Scientific Spectrum Midwest to full functionality. Need to fix air supply before the  Universal is put back into service. See required parts needed [[Media:Air_Assist_Parts_Assembly.doc ]] See [[Media:2_Table_Calibration_Platform_Lasers.pdf]] and [[Media:5_Cleaning_and_Maintenance.pdf]] for maintenance. If you need to get familiar with the universal, please checkout out [[Media:6_Keep_these_thoughts_in_mind_when_creating_a_drawing.pdf]] and [[Media:7 Laser procedure.pdf]]

! MATERIAL
! BANNED REASON
|-
| PETG, PET
| Along with other emissions, is known to emit Benzene which is known to cause cancer.
|-
| Polystyrene
| Known to emit styrene fumes.
|-
| ABS
| Emits cyanide gas and tends to melt.
|-
| PVC
| Emits chlorine gas during a cut.
|-
| Bending Plywood
| Bends into the path of the laser carriage during operation.
|-
| Tropical Hardwoods
| A lot of tropical hardwoods have toxins in the wood.
|-
| Corian
| Creates a fine grit inside the laser bed and will grind down equipment.
|-
| Casting Wax
| Melts a lot.
|-
| Nylon
| Emits toxic fumes.
|-
| Vinyl
| Emits chlorine gas during a cut
|-
| Delrin
| Along with other emissions, is known to emit Benzene which is known to cause cancer.
|-
| Foamcore
| Foamcore is an expanded polystyrene and is known to emit styrene fumes when cut. It is also very flammable after repeated cuts

Many materials are unsafe, see [https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/wiki/Laser_Materials https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Laser_Materials] for a list.


'''NEVER CUT FOAM - IT IS THE #1 CAUSE OF DAMAGING LASER CUTTERS.''' Even if it seems safe, the foam WILL catch fire and damage the equipment before you can stop it.
