Laser & Beams

When exploring aspects of laser cutting, it was evident that to achieve the full potential of the laser cutting for creating surfaces out of a non malleable material one would have to incorporate a laser cutter that does not work only in the x y and z axes but can do a fourth axis in an angle in relation to the other axes. This would provide the necessary part to achieve a flush cut and incorporate difficult angling of the joints. I found it difficult to create a curved surface composed of different parts with the laser cutter. Of course the scale that I am using will produce a more “ragged” edge, much like a pixelated photo.  Either a larger scale or a suped up laser cutter would prove this project to turn out better.

Digital : The Continuum

I wanted to take the concept of my paper modle and build it into something new. I found the strongest parts of the paper modle to be its ability to adapt and morph while employing simple construction techniques. Simplicity is beauty.

The digital modle is made from pegs that are all identical, besides height, and can easily be transported and moved around in the modle. Creating a 3D puzzle of sorts with enldess possibilities.
