23-year-old safe distancing enforcement officer Jayne Lim can sometimes be spotted at Woodlands Regional Library carrying models of her favourite Peanuts characters like Snoopy and Charlie Brown.
What few may realise is that the models were made right at the library makerspace using fabrication technology like 3D printing, 3D pens and laser cutters.
If the word “laser” makes you think of weapons in sci-fi movies, or contortion dances in bank heist films, you’re halfway there. Lasers are very precise and increasingly, laser cutting tools are used to create intricate and professional-looking designs without breaking your wallet. Jayne found herself captivated by the idea after attending a laser crafting Starter Session at MakeIT at Tampines.
