A Cellphone Holder

Description:

In this lesson, students will explore more design functions in XCS, like setting corner radius, combining two basic shapes, knowing how to insert more interesting shapes, and set the laser engrave processing parameter. Students will also need to think about how to measure the proper size for phone holders and transfer the size number into XCS and complete the structure design.

Objectives:

By the end of class, students will be able to:

• Set corner radius for basic shapes in XCS
• Get how to combine two basic shapes into one
• Insert more complicated shapes in XCS
• Set the laser cut processing parameters based on new material
