    understanding how it functions using G-codes, setting up
    an orientation in such a way that maximize the utility of
    the material you’re working on.
  • I did laser printing, printed a few cool stuff useful things
    like key holders, designs for IDL.
  • I learned 3D printing from scratch and get all of it fine.
  • Another cutting edge technology I was exposed to was a
    3D scanning machine, the concept is you place an object
    you want to scan, place it in there run the scan and you
    obtain a 3D diagram in a software. Which is then what you
    use in a software of your choice to work from , edit and
    then produce a 3D printing of this object.
  • FABLab has an industrial woodwork CNC router, one of its
    kind, I had exposure to this too, I witnessed beautiful art
    work being done on wood by this machine.

Playing Chess & Reading, Volunteering, Extra Self Education.

I developed a love for the mental game of chess from a young age of 12, I have participated in a few tournaments under the privileges of my primary and secondary schools. I personally play online and read on chess to improve myself, I also love reading novels and effective self-help books. I am an individual that love contributing freely, I like giving back to the community in anyway possible, thus I believe volunteering is one way to do so.
