Design It: xTool Studio Parametric Box Tool

Design and build a functional box using xTool Studio and the xTool laser cutter. This intermediate workshop is intended for users who are already certified to operate the xTool laser cutter and want to expand their digital fabrication and assembly skills through a practical project.

Participants will learn how to create a laser-cut box using a parametric box generator, prepare files for efficient cutting, and assemble a durable box using interlocking construction techniques.
