Test the laser cutter and get the curf​

Here's the link of week3 group assignment which record the process of getting the curf.

Design the Parametric Construction Kit​

I design the Parametric Construction Kit by Solidworks and make the kit by wood. Here's my proecess:

Here's my basic sketch. It's a 40mm * 40mm square with round angle (radius 6mm). There are 4 slots with basic size 3mm width and 10mm long base on each board with thickness 3mm.

Then, according to the curf we found in Group Assignment, We will to decrease 0.242mm cause the kit can be assembled to the slot with interference fit.

After finishing the sketch, extrude the sketch as 3D parts and generate the engineering drawing, then save as dxf file.

Then, import to CorelDraw and ready for cutting.

I cut about 16 parametric constrcution kit.

Finally, we can assemble the parametric construction kit and assemble as the shape you like.
