3D Design Piece Process / Results - Project Development
This is my process of creating the first 3D piece. First, I created the outlines of my design digitally using AutoCAD and created a DFX document. Then I visited the laser cutting workshop, where I laser cut the pieces. I chose pulpboard for the material, 1mm for the curving parts because it bends easily, and then 3mm for the rest of the pieces. After all the pieces were cut I brought everything back to the studio. I noticed some pieces were ruined during the cutting because of a cutting malfunction so for that reason I took the rest of the material that remained and tried to replace the ruined pieces by cutting it as carefully and precisely as possible with a craft knife. I also sandpapered the edges to be more smooth. After all the extra pieces were cut, I tested out different techniques in which I would try to recreate the exterior. In this picture, I tried to colour the triangles with markers which left a messy result but helped me decide on the colours shades...
