3D Printing
Reflections on the Class
- The feeling of bringing your ideas to life is beyond cool.
- It's all about trial and error – you'll mess up, but that's how you learn.
- Be patient, embrace the learning curve, and you'll be 3D printing like a pro in no time.
Laser Cutting
Reflections about the Class
- The class was an eye-opener about the versatility and precision of laser cutting technology.
- I was amazed by the variety of materials that can be used, from wood to acrylic to metal and even textiles.
- Learning about vector and raster graphics was key to understanding how to create designs that translate well to laser cutting.
- I can't wait to experiment and create my own laser-cut designs – the possibilities seem endless!
CNC
Reflections about the Class
- The control and precision you have over materials are nuts.
- Learning about G-code and toolpath strategies is something I need to do
- Material selection is crucial; it can make or break your project.
- The class made me appreciate the craftsmanship behind CNC machining and its role in modern manufacturing.
In the class, we also looked at all the machines and formed small groups to ideate on the types of things we can do with these machines and a simple tilt sensor.
