Just thought I would introduce myself. My name is Barry. I've been reading around for a couple days and thought I would join.
I recently interned at General Scanning, so I've gotten quite interested in the world of lasers and laser deflection. Laser projection sounds like a pretty fun way to feed that interest. Marking or engraving would be wayyy too expensive!
I would also like to thank everyone involved in this forum because there is tons of useful information here. I am hoping to put together a system this summer if my wallet lets me.
I do have one question... Can some one point me in the right direction of the kinds of laws behind lasers over 5mw? I understand the safety behind lasers from dealing with ones up to 50W, but that was in a controlled room where everyone is wearing goggles. What are the rules for 5mw+ lasers in public, or a private club setting? I've heard vague things about getting licenses, but I'm pretty lost.
Thanks again!
