In this laser design unit I learned how to use a laser cutter and got more familiar with Illustrator. Each project involved designing on Illustrator and then using the laser to create it. Before the laser engraved or cut out the projects you had to send them to the the laser's UCP software, so I learned how to use that too. Knowing how to use the laser is nice because so many things can be created from the use of it.
