LASER Cutting 101 with Phil Renato Part 2
I made shapes and lots of 'em in 22 min and 2 seconds!
Today was a great day! I spent the morning with Phil learning about Adobe Illustrator and how to prep my designs for the LASER cutter. Since this is a short visit, we decided to focus on small designs that would be great for earrings or simple pendants.
