Computer controlled cutting

This week was about computer controlled cutting, with a laser cutter and a vinyl cutter

Group assignment:
- Do your lab’s safety training
- Characterize your lasercutter’s focus, power, speed, rate, kerf, joint clearance and types.
- Document your work to the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned.

Individual assignments
- Design, lasercut, and document a parametric construction kit, accounting for the lasercutter kerf.
- Cut something on the vinyl cutter.

Learning outcomes

• Demonstrate and describe parametric 2D modelling processes.
• Identify and explain processes involved in using the laser cutter.
• Develop, evaluate and construct a parametric construction kit.
• Identify and explain processes involved in using the vinyl cutter.
