4. Computer controlled cutting

Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to slice materials. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, it is beginning to be used by schools, small businesses, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics. The laser optics and CNC (computer numerical control) are used to direct the material or the laser beam generated. A commercial laser for cutting materials uses a motion control system to follow a CNC or G-code of the pattern to be cut onto the material. The focused laser beam is directed at the material, which then either melts, burns, vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of gas, leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish

USING LASER CUTTING

AIRPLANE

For this first project we made an airplane, this one is assembled from the sockets. Within the laser cutting we were able to : cut, mark, break line by point.

PARASITE

To build the "parasite" we used a single replicable part unit, it was cut many times and assembled in different ways.
