It's like a 3D printer but for cutting and shaping. Invented by a Chinese engineer, it uses a laser to cut the material you want to shape into the shape of your choice
The machine uses a bar that has two holes in it, one at either end. The laser beam goes through the hole in one end and out through the other. It then cuts away the material between these two points
You can use wood, metal or plastic as your material. This machine is also great for making custom parts for your projects if you don't have access to expensive machinery like CNC mills (CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control).
