working working working
Just thought I would keep everyone in the loop. I am experimenting with the laser cutter a bit. These are prototypes for SOFA. They are made from upcycled copper (left over copper flashing) I paint the sheet and laser etch the paint off, cut them out and fold them up. The final designs are being tweaked and will probably be a bit more complicated. I am having some problems with the pin back as well as size etc. the interior will have a flat sheet of pattern so you wont see the copper on the inside. I am also throwing in a video of the laser in action. It is kind of random how the laser chooses which lines to "etch" first. Whacky machine. Tell me what you think.
