Cutting Letters

In my STEAM course Rapid Prototyping at GCE, we learned about CNC machines, networks, and distance formulas in Unit 1. For this Action Project, we were assigned 2 letters and asked to first draw and design them on graph paper. Then, we had to design both letters with separate materials and cut and assemble them using X-Acto knives, glue, etc. Finally, we we asked to make our letters again in a computer program and cut them out using a Cameo CNC machine. To present what I did, I made a slide show showcasing my letters while detailing and comparing/contrasting how I created them. Some things I struggled with were cutting the handmade letters and tracing them onto the final paper that I used for my handmade creations. Some things that came easy was getting used to the software and using the machine. Overall I'm proud of all my letters that I made and how I put together the slideshow.
