When you think of the word ‘l293d’, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, you probably think of something like, ‘Oh, that’s the chip that drives my robot!’ Right? Or maybe “Oh, that’s the chip that allows my robot to move!”. In this post we will explore what l293d actually is and how it does exactly what it does.

What is a diorama?
Dioramas are an art form that uses three-dimensional models to represent a scene. Dioramas are a fun way to be creative and show off your skills in working with different materials. The project requires some basic skills, but is easy enough for anyone who enjoys art or crafts.

Models are often well detailed and realistic, but the bases do not live up to this quality. This is usually because the person who made it did not learn well how to make them: they used an inappropriate material for the base or attached it in a way that did not harmonise with the other parts of the model. Although the process of creating the base of a model is generally simple, there are some situations where it can be more difficult.

CNC laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials and is typically used for industrial production applications, but is also beginning to be used by schools, small businesses and hobbyists. The laser beam can be moved over the material, allowing different parts to be removed from the rest of the object. This allows very fine details and high precision to be achieved.
