Snowflake Ornament Fabrication using the Boss Laser Cutter at George School

This snowflake ornament and "card" was designed with Adobe Illustrator and RDWorks software, and was fabricated with a 100-watt laser cutter from Boss Laser in my robotics lab at George School. Here, the wood was sande plywood from Home Depot, with two coats of shellac applied to each surface. The surface was then covered with vinyl masking tape (see http://a.co/hBgMoBJ) and then laser cut and etched. I also experimented with Howard's Feed-N-Wax wood polish (a natural conditioner of beeswax and citrus: http://a.co/4bXd8bs), and found the latter to be superior: It was easier to apply, did not require the masking tape (which saved tons of time and some expense), repelled the smoke beautifully, and was non-toxic. Win-win-win-win! Students at Georges School use the laser cutter to fabricate their own robot chassis, artwork, and other designs of their choosing.
