Year 8 Laser Cut Acrylic Phone Stands

Our year 8 product design students have been stretching their imaginations and design skills with this acrylic phone stand project! They designed these from scratch, made 3D card models, drew up their designs using CAD, laser cut the digital drawing and then finally bent them into shape using the strip heater! We are so proud of the students' creativity, resilience and their final outcomes - check out some of them below:

Be on the look out for more projects from our students soon and updates on other exciting things happening in the D&T department! Please feel free to leave us any comments, we'd love to hear from you!

Using the laser cutter for the Christmas Fair

Last term, the D&T department used the new BSA-funded laser cutter to create some tree ornaments for sale to help raise money at the Beaumont Christmas fair!

There were 3 designs to choose from and what made them really special, was that the ornaments were personalised for each individual customer!
