Introduction
One big advantage of laser cutting as opposed to 3D printing is that that the process is very fast and the result accurate. On the negative side, laser cutters are expensive and 2D cutting offers less possibilities than 3D additive manufacturing.
See also:
Laser cutting is taught in used in engineering schools but also sometimes in general education.
Laser cutting can be used for various purposes:
- Design teaching
- Soft skills e.g. project management
- As a pretext for teaching vector drawing
- As a pretext for teaching programming and mathematics
- As a means to create teaching tools, e.g. Montessori-type activities, simulation games,
