The most accessible type of 3D printing technology, FDM involves the laying down of thin layers of material, usually a type of plastic. The filament is heated in a nozzle and then "drawn" on layer by layer.
In this process an object is created by selectively curing a thin layer of liquid resin with a laser. A laser heats selected areas of the resin, turning it into a solid. The process continues until the piece is completed.
In this process, layers of plastic, metal, or paper are cut with a laser and then stacked on top of each other. An adhesive is applied between each layer.
Large parts can be made, compared to plastic FDM technologies. The parts can also be refined, cut, or milled afterwards.
In this process a CO2 laser fuses powder, layer by layer, to create a 3D form. Similar to SLA, a layer of powder is laid down and cintered (burnt) with a laser. The build plate moves down and another layer of powder is added. This new layer is cintered, and so on until the form is complete. Uncintered powder is removed from the chamber to reveal a complete 3D form. The uncintered powder can be reused.
The precision levels and edge quality achieved with laser cutting machines are better than traditional cutting methods, as the laser beam will not wear during the laser cutting process. Laser cutting technology also enables us to cut complex shapes without the need for tooling and at a similar or faster speed than other cutting methods.
You need to have Adobe Illustrator installed
You need to have all parts to be cut in one file
Disregard placing an image if you are only cutting

Dear Ms Thao and (your teacher),
I have finished my tealight holder design and have attached it to this email. I have also addressed the areas below:
Created a 100% RED outline with a stroke set to .001pt for all the parts that I would like to cut through with the laser cutter.
Ahered to the size requirements for it to hold a tealight candle
Any areas of my design in 100% BLACK is so that the laser cutter knows to engrave here and not cut.
Thank you for your time, effort, and diligence in helping me to complete my product.
Your humble pupil...

You will have to save your part/model as an STL file for Flash Print to recognize it as a part for 3D printing
