Xmas Part 2

With the power of laser cutting technology, it has become easier than ever to make customized board games! The power of laser cutters really shines when you need a whole set of pieces or parts that are identical and/or have fine details. If you are feeling particularly creative, you can add more flair than is necessary, and the only costs comes in design time and configuring the machine! Better yet, for this particular board, I wanted it to feel somewhat natural, so instead of designing the grid on a computer, I drew what I wanted it to look like with pen on paper, took a picture, and converted it to vector art. In a matter of minutes I had a functional board in the exact copy of my drawing (scaled to the size I wanted). There are countless applications for a laser cutter, and this is only the beginning for me!
