In this video you can take a look at a Gen 4 – BOSS Laser Cutter-2436, cutting out an example wedding invitation on some paper.
‘Lasercut wood on leather‘ boots by Tineke Gysel was presented at the ‘Watch Our Steps’ exhibition, an exhibition that showcases the graduation works of promising Footwear designers from around the world.
After a 5-day intensive workshop training in Grasshopper and Rhinoceros, a Russian group has created plywood hand assembled form. The object is reminiscent of an aquatic creature.
Make a fashion accessory out of leather. This was the brief for the “Craft the Leather” competition that motivated Renee Verhoeven to create her series “The Anatomy of the Hand”.
The Triangle pavilion by Bojan Tepavčević and Dejan Mitov, Digital Design Center, FTN, University of Novi Sad, combines tessellation design logic with friction fit connection system that does not need glue or mechanical fasteners.
The structural design of ‘Exoskeleton’, a pavilion exploring the possibilities of computer-aided manufacturing in prototyping, is a proposal by students of University of Ghent that addresses full-scale construction with limited resources.
Designer Julia Ibbini is interested in human and machine collaboration in a traverse of analog and digital to create work with highly detailed machined precision, but which remains distinctly human in origin.
The “pixel wall” is composed of laser cut plates. Using parametric design and digital fabrication techniques, this flexible self-supporting wall has low cost and reduced environmental impact. This project is being developed by researchers from Chile and Brazil.
WEsearch lab recently concluded their experimental study on ‘Waffle Structure as Canopy’ at CEPT University. Polygonal meshes were quickly modelled and iterated in Rhino. The final surfaces were turned into waffles by using custom Grasshopper script.
Having access to a laser cutter in a Fablab, designers at laxap wanted to give a try making a stacked laser cut sheet sculpture. Their tool of choice is OpenSCAD, which allows to combine 2D and 3D techniques, and to preview the final result.
In this video by Boss Laser you can see how to make a rigid material flexible using your laser cutter. There is a way to use laser cutting to create 3D objects from flat materials, and it uses a clever design element called a Lattice or Living Hinge.
Wooden Coaster Design & Ideas #4: Carl Friedrich Gauss distinguishes between three types of curved surfaces, single curved – neutral (cylindrical), and double curved – negative (hyperboloid) and positive (spherical).
Curved surfaces are very attractive, especially negative double curved surfaces, but also very complicated to perform. What’s interesting about them in constructive terms is the increase in stiffness and load capacity as the surface is bent in one and two directions.
Wooden Coasters Design & Ideas #3: This would make a wonderful gift for tea and coffee drinkers. It can be used as a decoration, an art piece or as a coaster. It looks great on your table and protects its surface. Diameter: 3.1inches (8cm), Depth: 0.08inches (0.2cm). In mathematics, a Voronoi diagram is a partitioning of a plane into regions based on distance to points in a specific subset of the plane. That set of points (called seeds, sites, or generators) is specified beforehand, and for each seed there is a corresponding region consisting of all points closer to that seed than to any other.
Wooden Wall Clock Design & Ideas #6: Unique, high quality handmade geometrical wooden wall clock, inspired by geometric structure -Voronoi diagram. Our clock „Diagram“ is designed in a contemporary style. These honeycomb-like, asymmetric, mesh shapes are used in many types of mathematical analyses as well as to create interesting fill patterns in things like furniture and wall panels. Extraordinary wall clock has been created using lazercut machine, and fitted with quartz mechanism. Untreated matte natural oak color. Assembled with three different types of arrows.
Wooden Pendant Lamp Design & Ideas #3: This is an early version of the Moon Lamp designed by Verner Panton for the Danish lamp manufacturer Louis Poulsen, produced in the 1960s. The lamellae can be placed in any conceivable position. In order to reinforce the impression of the spherical shape, each of the rings is slightly arched. It is in a very good vintage condition.
Wooden Wall Clock Design & Ideas #5: A large, modern lotus design wall clock that really makes a statement. Made from laser cut birch plywood. Available in natural with a matte polyurethane, or water based matte brown or matte black stain. It is 18″ in diameter and floats 1/2″ off the wall creating a soft shadow. Designed and made in Canada. 12″ and 23″ sizes also available. -Built in hanger, -1/4″ thick wood, -Quartz movement, -Silent continuous sweep movement available
Wooden Pendant Lamp Design & Ideas #2: It`s simple and minimalistic and in the same time creates a warm and ambient atmosphere. It suits classic or modern furniture and is designed to bring a cosy light to bedrooms, offices, living rooms, dining tables, kitchen islands or sideboard. MATERIAL: 4 mm plywood (all scraped with sandpaper and varnished), black metallic canopy, black fabric wire. DIMENSIONS: 60cm (24 in) height – 50cm (20 in). 100% HANDMADE.
Wooden Box Designs & Ideas #1: Laser cut and handcrafted storage box made from birch wood. Displays a geometric cube design. Great for jewelry, greeting cards, personal effects and storage or as a presentation and gift box. The lid is designed to stay in place without a lock or hinge. The measurements of the box are 6-1/2″ wide, 6-1/2″ Long and 4-1/2″ high when fully closed.
Wooden Joinery Design & Ideas #1: Laser cutting is widely used by industrial designers and mechanical engineers as a rapid modeling tool. However, designing and fabricating laser cut assemblies can be a complex and tedious process, especially for novice designers. Joints between different parts of an assembly is a key aspect of translating a digital model into a physical model through laser cutting. Joinery was developed to facilitate this rapid modeling process as a parametric joint generation toolkit for laser cut assemblies.
