Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to assist in
the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD output is often in
the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations.
Computer-aided design can also be known as computer-aided drafting (CAD) which
describes the process of creating a technical drawing with the use of computer software.

Laser Scanning: Using laser imaging to
scan 3D mesh/surfaces. Mainly used in
medical and anthropological settings, where
actually touching an object would be
devastating.
Laser Cutting: Laser cutting is a
technology that uses a laser to cut materials,
and is typically used for industrial
manufacturing applications. Laser cutting
works by directing the output of a high
power laser, by computer, at the material to
be cut. The material then either melts, burns,
vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of
gas, leaving an edge with a high quality
surface finish.
Ponoko (online laser cutting)
“We wanted to create a place where you could shop for and
make things that are completely original, and do this in the
greenest way possible.
So we made Ponoko ... the first online shop for individualized
goods – things designed and made just for you. We’re
reinventing the future of products by making it easier to make
things.
We see a future when you download your products from the
Internet and make them locally.
Just as the Internet revolutionized the exchange of digital
photos, music and movies, Ponoko pioneered the creation and
exchange of downloadable products:

Advantages
1.) Energy efficiency: Only the energy necessary to form the part is expended,
and waste is eliminated. This contrasts with conventional machining, in which
energy is used to smelt metal into ingots, which become billet materials. These
billet materials are then machined, removing a great deal of the material to
produce the final part. The energy used to create the original block of material is
wasted.
2.) Low material waste: Since the process only forms the desired part, there is
almost no waste formed, again in contrast to conventional machining. The
absence of waste enhances energy efficiency, as energy is not used to transport
or dispose of waste.
Makerbot 2
Designed for the desktop of an engineer,
researcher, creative professional, or anyone who
loves to make things, the MakerBot Replicator 2
features 100-micron layer resolution, setting a new
standard in professional looking models and true-
to-life replicas. In addition, the MakerBot Replicator
2 enables users to make big objects, up to 410
cubic inches in volume (11.2” L x 6.0” W x 6.1”
H).
