Laser Cutting

Laser cutting

Laser cutting is such a fun and interactive way of building models or designing objects. It requires a logical thought process, and you need to take measurements and material thickness very seriously if you are trying to put multiple pieces together. It can be very limiting on a 2D plane, but it can be easily assembled into a more complex form by stacking and intersecting multiple pieces of laser cut materials. Just like in the 3D printed object we were given some material to laser cut anything we want to. I had been curious about how creative people can get with laser cutting many years ago when I was first introduced to the machine, and particularly for jewelry it can be a simple or complex as you want it to be. However, the nature of such a flat material against the smooth curvatures of the body can be a little challenging. It's about using the right materials and the right techniques of assembly.
