day 21: introduction to lasers
I’ve made it to three weeks in, and today’s project should lead to a lot of exciting pieces in the 324 days to come. I just became a member of TechShop Chandler and took an intro class with instructor Jared to use their Universal laser machines: these CNC babies cut, engrave, and trace just about any material you can throw at them with ease. Our demo project was a leather nametag: nothing fancy for now, but a great introduction to the tool and its many uses.
