In this individual router rotation I learned how to use a router machine. I had to design a clock on Inventor, set it up in Fusion, and then route it. It was a long process using the router but it worked perfectly. Being it was my final project, I had to use two other machines. I ended up using the laser and vinyl cutter which both involved the software Illustrator. It is good to know how to use a router because it can cut away wood making any design you want.
