I Made It at Tech Shop - School Project Mini-Society - Www.techshop.ws

http://www.techshop.ws
So my son had a project he needed to do for school. He needed to manufacture a product to sell in a marketplace at his school. We went to TechShop for 3 reasons:
1 - he loves TechShop
2 - his product needs to be desirable and sell well during the event and I figured not many kids would have access to a laser.
3 - we have leftover Plexiglas
Step 1 - draw your product using Adobe Illustrator. Reason for adobe illustrator is it is the there was a guy at Techshop 3 weeks ago who was nice enough to help me learn how to use it.. I never met him before but he spent about an hour over the course of 3 hours helping me... That is the kind of people you meet there....

Step 2 - Load Your Laser Cutter

Step 3 - Cut and Check Your Work - Don't Lean on the Machine
