Make a Jewellery Box - With the Lasercutter

During the workshop you will create and build your own custom sized jewellery box with personal engraved decorations.

With the available Fusion model you can create your own box size. After exporting you can further customize the design in Inkscape with one of the available decorative designs or your own personal image (make sure it is a simple line drawing and no photorealistic image). Once you’re satisfied with your design, you will use the laser cutters to cut and engrave the pieces before assembling your finished box.
