Work on CNC assignment. First cut a small test part on scrap material before cutting your final part.
### Assignment:
1. Design something and make it using CNC. You may use the ShopBot (2D outlines), the Shaper (2D outlines) or the SRM-20 (2.5D molds).
2. Post-process your design using fabrication processes such as
molding and casting, vacuum forming, or composites ,
