Computer Controlled Cutting (Week 3)
The Assignment for this week was to Design, Make and Document a Press Fit Construction Kit.
As a newbie to the world of fabrication, I started by reading up on press fit construction kits and looking through previous years work of students who attended fab academy.
I decided to keep it simple. I made boxes and triangles in Inkscape ! Next I exported the file to PDF and gave the print command for cutting through the Epilog laser machine available at Fablab CEPT.
The challenge in this assignment is to make sure the thickness of the material matches the cut in the blocks. I made an error the first time in measuring the thickness. Yup i am that new to all of this :)
But was happy with the final result (images below)
This is more or less an inspiration for a building which I may go on to make in future - Fabricated Homes !
