How to minimize the cut area by Mariam
Mariam is a talented engineer, She has an artistic mindset.
I learned a lot from her philosophy of design and arrangement!
she told me how to organize the parts on the laser works to minimize the area of cutting

Overcoming Challenges
When you got stuck, what/who did you turn to? At what point did you have to pause to research or learn more before moving on? What are some mistakes, pitfalls, or challenges that others can avoid if they were doing this assignment?
Before starting cutting process, I turned on the machine but it does not work and a message appeared on the screen that be cautious there is an error!
At this time I remembered when we were talking in the session about the cooling system of the machine.
at the same time, the lab technician realize that I did not turn on the cooling button!
I think I will never forget this tip in all my life even when I am using any type of machine I have to check all buttons and safety precautions.
