Week 03 - Computer-Controlled Cutting

This week's assignment was about designing and fabricating a parametric construction kit, as well as using a laser-cutting machine and a vinyl cutter. As of the time of writing, I am currently not in Puebla and I do not have access to a laser cutter, so, for the time being, this entry will focus on the parametric design of the construction kit and the design that I will output with the vynil cutter.
