Under this chapter I wanted to practice on structures that can support their own weight and become part of one big object. After making the two dimensional components, I was supposed to prepare them for the laser cutter machine. There for I arranged the components, as shown in the picture below, in such a way that they are close together thereby avoiding material waste. In order to make the components fit together, I tried to consider the thickness of the beam from the laser cutter.
