SUMMARY:Make Laser-cut Business Cards
DESCRIPTION:Learn to use TinkerCAD (a web-based 3D-modeling tool) to design 
 your own business cards. Learn how to engrave and cut small batches of 
 custom business cards out of watercolor paper using the Makerspace’s 
 Glowforge Plus laser cutter/engraver. This workshop is somewhat of an 
 advanced hands-on introduction to designing for lasercutting. Recommended 
 'soft' prerequisites include either of the introductory 'Make with 3D 
 printing' workshops\, but these are not required. Participants will receive 
 a walkthrough on how to find more complex lasercutting files online\, as 
 well as how to import\, modify and export them. The workshop will proceed 
 with a walkthrough for designing an original business card in TinkerCAD and 
 exporting it for lasercutting. We will address pertinent vocabulary words 
 and how to optimize a balance between TinkerCAD's strengths and weaknesses. 
 Additional topics include Library and external resources\, best practices 
 for modeling\, and various tips and tricks to optimize the lasercutter's 
 performance.
