Tutorials

In this Jacobs Makerspace Tutorial, Jacobs Hall Student Supervisor Effie Jia illustrates how to model a tabbed box in Rhino, and then cut the resulting profiles on one of our Universal Laser Cutters.

Want to start designing your own 3D-printed parts but not sure where to begin? In this video Effie Jia demonstrates how to sketch out a simple chess piece in Rhino, save it as an STL file, and then process that file with a slicer for 3D printing.

In this Jacobs Makerspace Tutorial, Design Specialist Adam Hutz discusses one process for casting flexible parts using inexpensive 3D-printed PLA molds.

In this video, Design Specialist Adam Hutz gives a high-level overview of the process of generating and submitting CAM files (hosted in F3D files) for fabrication through the Jacobs Makerspace's remote access JPS system.

In this video, Jacobs Institute's Josh DeWitt tells you everything you need to know about formatting Adobe Illustrator files for laser cutting through our JPS system.

Arianna Ninh, a former Berkeley undergraduate and student supervisor at the Jacobs Institute, shows you how to make a Massironi shelf. For full instructions and resources, visit: http://www.instructables.com/id/Laser-Cut-Massironi-Shelf/

DS Adam describes how to use a Fusion 360 CAM template (linked in description) to apply existing toolpaths to solid models. Part 1 describes key variables in several common toolpaths, while Part 2 shows how to apply those toolpaths to an existing model.
