Looking for hands-on access to a professional laser cutter? We offer affordable, hourly DIY laser cutting rentals for students, artists, and entrepreneurs. Unlock the potential of laser cutting without the burden of ownership.
Whether you are prototyping a product, designing packaging, cutting signage, or just learning the ropes, our DIY rental option gives you the tools and support to cut with confidence.
It's great that schools like USC have their own laser labs, but students constantly come to us when machines are down or access is limited. With our DIY rental program, you don't have to wait until the last second. In fact, you could rent multiple machines at once and be done rapidly.
Access the same professional hardware we use for client jobs.
No surprise restrictions or hidden fees.

A sample of what our renters have made on-site.
“I needed a few last-minute parts cut for my design project. Renting time at American Laser Cutter was easier and cheaper than anywhere else I’ve tried. Their staff was super helpful too.”
“Very solid place for laser cutting especially if you’re looking to do it on your own and just need to use the machine. Their laser cutters are really big too, probably the biggest one I’ve used.”
Please email us to reserve a machine:
Our machines run on LightBurn. We recommend you prep your files beforehand to maximize your cutting time.
