You are tasked with designing a functional product that will be fabricated using the Wazer Waterjet. Your project must fit within a work envelope of 18” x 12” and utilize 22-gauge sheet metal (galvanized steel, standard steel, or stainless steel, depending on availability). The final product should be formed by bending the cut piece and should demonstrate both utility and aesthetic appeal.
