To fail is to learn

The final rendering of the object to be fabricated. As you can see, it has a sharp curve.

Section cuts

The material to be laser cut is 4 ply grey strathmore; therefore, a test cut was done to find the appropriate notch width for the final piece

Because the pieces to be laser cut were taken from rhino all the offsetting, trimming and line work needed to be done in CAD. This part particularly tedious because of the quantity of pieces. Better option anyone? Grasshopper?





Pieces were grouped and laid out according to the order they were to be assembled.

Looks like everything lines up...

As you can see the final object was unable to be put together. Although Rhino was able to digitally construct the model, we learned that in the real world, it was impossible to construct via an egg-crate method due to the sharp curve in the object.
