In the video, we learn how to create 3D ornaments from flat laser cut parts using slot construction techniques. We first set up a template with a slot component that can be adjusted based on the height of a design and the thickness of the material. Using this setup, we quickly prototype a range of 3D ornaments including a star, a Christmas tree, and a snowflake.
