== About ==
The Universal Laser Systems PLS6.150D is a free-standing platform with a materials processing envelope of 32" x 18" x 9" or 5,184 in³ (813 x 457 x 229 mm or 84,950 cm³) that supports dual lasers. As a dual laser platform, the PLS6.150 can support up to two 10.6µ CO2 lasers with a power range of 10 watts to 150 watts. Additionally, it can support a single 9.3µ CO2 of 30, 50 or 75 watts. (if a 9.3u CO2 laser is installed, only one 10.6 CO2 of up to 75 watts may be installed at the same time.)
Ours has two 75w lasers totalling 150w of power.
The unit was donated from SAIC.
== Status ==
Laser is currently inoperable because a 220v line needs to be present for operation.

=== Safe Materials for Cutting ===
** Plastics:
*** ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)
*** Acrylic (also known as Plexiglas, Lucite, PMMA)
*** Delrin (POM, acetal)
*** High density polyethylene (HDPE) – melts badly
*** Kapton tape (Polyimide)
*** Mylar (polyester)
*** Nylon – melts badly
*** PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol)
*** Polyethylene (PE) – melts badly
*** Polypropylene (PP) – melts somewhat
*** Styrene
*** Two-tone acrylic – top color different than core material, usually for custom instrumentation panels, signs, and plaques.
** Foam:
*** Depron foam – often used for RC planes.
*** EPM
*** Gator foam – foam core gets burned and eaten away compared to the top and bottom hard shell.
** Other:
*** Cloths (leather, suede, felt, hemp, cotton)
*** Papers
*** Rubbers (only if they do not contain chlorine Teflon (PTFE, Polytetrafluoroethylene)
*** Woods (MDF, balsa, birch, poplar, red oak, cherry, holly, etc.)
=== MATERIALS NOT SAFE ===
** Polycarbonate (PC, Lexan) due to the fumes.
** Any material containing chlorine such as PVC & Vinyl
