The Laser Engraving Learning by Doing activity involved learning about raster and vector imaging and utilizing that knowledge in modeling a keychain digitally. We used Adobe to model our 2D design and then used a laser engraving machine to imprint the design on a wooden keychain. This activity taught a lot about the computing processes necessary in digital imaging and overall how laser engraving works. I now look at computers and engraving design a little bit differently and have a better understanding of how they specifically work.
