Laser cutting.


Today I had much better success laser cutting, the previous piece was so thin that once the inner cutting where removed there wasn't much of the structure left to hold it together, below I put a contour line 1mm around the original line meaning that it was at least 2mm thick, the outcome was very successful.   (excuse bad images, taken with phone, through the laser cutter window)

Two pieces ready to be cut out on the screen, red being cut and green being etch.

New project. resolution of practice.

For this project I want to continue to look at distortion as my inspiration, I'm interested in taking pieces of ironwork then distorting them, ether by squishing or stretching . Below are some scans taken from my sketchbook of my work so far.
 Laser cutting, I took some of the images I had been looking at into the 3D workshop and cut them out of Perspex, the only problem was that the lines it was cutting out where super then therefore I'm worried about popping all the pieces out.
LASER POWER
Placed it on the scanner, came out crazy coloured..
Paper from behind the second piece I cut, images will be included soon.
