CAD/CAM files submitted

Due at the end of class TODAY:

1.       Cardboard back drop. 

2.       At least 2 more CAD/CAM files submitted.  Work to make these images as accurate as possible for your culture, animals, plants and geography.  Don’t just laser cut a random “house”.  Find a house that is accurate to your culture.

3.       Fully functioning servo system.
