what have you learned?

Throughout this Fab Academy, I have learned many valuable skills that are extremely useful for my career. These new learnings include the proper use of 3D printers, the different types of filaments, and their applications. Another new skill I acquired was using the CNC Router, which I frequently used for developing my final project, "Smart Dog House." Laser cutting was another technique I learned to use correctly and one I will likely continue using for both small and large projects in the near future.

Lastly, but certainly not least, is electronics. While I had some prior knowledge in this area before joining Fab Academy, I had never produced anything using a milling machine, which is very important for my career.

Overall, I have learned a tremendous amount throughout Fab Academy, and all of it will be very beneficial to me both now and in the future.
