6th Week - Sparks

 This week in CAD, the class started to use several different new tools.We started using soldering irons, a MIG welder,  a plasma torch, and a cnc laser router. I did not personally use the soldering iron this week as they were very popular and in use constantly but I have already used soldering irons in the past and plan on incorporating their use into my future projects. The plasma torch, shown in the image above, was fun and easy to use and all most everyone took the time to cut some design into the pieces of scrap metal we had lying around the shop. To practice using the laser router we made some designs in a new program, which I have forgotten the name of, and attached a marker to the end of the router so as to save material and draw onto some pieces of paper.
