Its ability to handle a wide range of materials makes it an essential tool for projects in our Design and Engineering courses. Recently, students in our Product Creation class used it to design and produce custom jewelry pieces, showcasing how laser cutting can transform creative ideas into market-ready products.
Student Success Story:
Alex, a 14-year-old Studio Member, utilized the xTool P2 to craft a prototype for his combat robot which he is designing to compete in the NHRL robot combat league (once he gets some of the bugs out of the design).
