Embedded Files
This set of Modules is designed for students who do not have access to Adobe Illustrator but still want to learn how to design for laser cutting.
These Modules assume that students have already become familiar with Tinkercad.
Tinkercad only allows for cutting, NOT engraving.
When done designing, you will need to send the .SVG file to someone who can load it and run it on the laser for cutting,
FTL.1 : Keychain
FTL.1 : Keychain
Use Tinkercad to create a 1.5" wide by 3" long keychain that can be cut on the laser.
The keychain must utilize different shapes, edges, symbols, and text.
Remember- Tinkercad can ONLY cut... and anything not connected physically will just fall away when the design is cut.
Submit the .SVG file for cutting and grading.
FTL.2 : 2D-->3D Car
FTL.2 : 2D-->3D Car
Use the tutorial video to see how custom shapes can be created in Tinkercad, then how to create a file of multiple 2D parts that can be combined once cut to form a 3D project.
To earn credit for this module, create a Tinkercad design containing a minimum of 6 2D parts that can be laser cut and assembled into a 3D project. Submit the .SVG file for cutting and grading.
FTL.3 : Assembly: Laser Cut Flyer
FTL.3 : Assembly: Laser Cut Flyer
Use the video tutorial to guide you in creating the following:
A 3D glider with
Wings made of thin cardboard
Body made of corrugated cardboard.
Submit the .SVG file for cutting and grading.
FLT.4 : Assembly: Longboard
FLT.4 : Assembly: Longboard
Use this video tutorial to build a model Longboard that can then be sent to the laser.
Submit the .SVG file for cutting and grading.
FTL.5 : Assembly: Glowbox
FTL.5 : Assembly: Glowbox
Use Makercase.com and the tutorial video to build the following:
A 4" tall by 3" wide "Glowbox" using finger joints and cut designs in all sides that allow light to shine through when a light is placed inside.
Submit the .SVG file for cutting and grading.
FTL.6 : Phone Stand
FTL.6 : Phone Stand

Is completely of your design (you can't use someone else's file)
Holds the phone up in multiple orientations
Is constructed of at least 2 lasered parts that assemble together
Includes customized features that are unique to and identify you as the creator
