How to cull laser materials storage

Culling and cleanup of the laser materials storage shelves including all shelving and the bottom bin.

Culling and tagging is done according to the storage policy: [Storage]

  • First, look through all the bins and remove any waste board that might have been stored in error.
    • If the usable area is smaller than two hand widths, remove it.
    • If the usable area is attached to a bunch of waste, set it aside to be cut down.
  • Remove any material that is not suitable for laser cutting (i.e. foam core, vinyl)
  • Remove any damaged material (i.e. stuff curved beyond usefulness in the laser)
  • Bag all the junk. If it is more than one bag’s worth of stuff, please snap a picture and Slack it to the laser channel.

 

  • Next, go through the red-tagged stuff and find all the expired material. If it is worth keeping, remove all tags. It is now considered fair use.
  • Next do a general tidy-up, grouping things by size so they stay as flat as possible so they’re useful in the laser. If possible, group tagged things together.
  • Next, update the blue tags with red tags for any items that are older than two weeks.
