A Laser Cut Christmas

Build yourself a decoration

Your project will consist of two parts:

Part 1 - 3D Model an awesome base for your tree. 

Part 2 - Design a laser cut tree or other decoration


You'll have 3 STEM Club sessions to work on this project. Take your time to create something precious! 

Pro Tip:

Draw your design on paper first

3D Printed Base


It can be up to 100mm wide x 100mm long x 40 mm tall


Important: Make sure the top of your base has this perfectly sized box to fit in your tree! Bury the box about half way.


Take your time to make it look amazing. Check with the teacher to make sure it will print OK(no overhangs please!)


When you are ready, export your base as an STL file and email it to gpusey@churchlands.wa.edu.au 

Laser Cut Decoration


This is where you get to draw your design.


With a  1mm BLACK pen in OneNote, draw the outline of your cut, as well as any other cuts you want to make inside your decoration. 

Then use RED to create the engraved part of your design. It can be anything you want, a drawing, painting, whatever!

Your design will be scaled up to a maximum of 100mm x 100mm.

We will add a notch at the  bottom of your design where it will slot into your base.


When you are ready , take a screen clipping (just the picture as big as you can), save it as a png file, and email it to  gpusey@churchlands.wa.edu.au
