The class that I am currently in is called IDEA. IDEA stands for Innovation, Design, Engineering, Arts.
3D printing is a type of printing that makes 3D objects and not 2D like a normal printer. The 3D printer takes a spool of thin plastic and melts it layer by layer until the object you are printing is finished.
Laser machines use a super hot laser to either cut through or engrave the abject you are trying to make. For example, you could engrave your name or a design on a piece of wood. Or you could use it to cut through material very cleanly.
CNC machine's use a computer to work. In the computer you design and make instructions for the machine to do and the machine will do it.
Vinyl cutters use a computer and a sharp blade to work. You design what you would like to cut out in the computer and the machine will take that design and but it out for you.
