10DTE Future Technology - Laser Cutting and 3D Printing.

Laser Cutting

What is Laser Cutting?

Laser cutting is a technology that cuts materials with a laser mostly used with optics. It is normally used for industrial use and is starting to be used by schools, hobbyists etc.

The outcome

The outcome of a laser cut object normally turns out great as long as you use the right material and match it with the correct amount of power level.

3D Printing

What is 3D Printing?

3D Printing is a process where material is joined or solidified through computer control to created 3-dimensional objects. It is when a material is being added layer by layer to create the final product.

The outcome

The outcome of a 3D printed object isn't really that great. A 3D printer is usually really small and can make it look very pixelated. 3D printing is recommended for prototypes or mock-ups for a creation.

What I created for the 3D printing project.

For the 3D printing project, we had to create something with a 3D printer that relates to Future Technology. I created a hovering table that hovers to you when you need it. It comes with a magnetic cup holder so your drink wouldn't fall off the table as it hovers to you. It has these projecting crystals that allow you to read the news as it is projecting in 3D above your table. It also comes with a solar panel charger that charges your table just by placing the table on top of the charger. When the table is not needed, the table will hover back to its charger to recharge for its next use!
