Computer-Controlled cutting

Week #3

3rd Class

In this stage I search some softaweres for cutting for example Inkskape and SolidWorks, because I can create vectors, then I used de Lasser cutter machine with values to cutt MDF

Raster

Speed: 100 Power: 30

Vector

Speed: 65 Power: 95 Frecuency: 2500

Examples from design and software

Here there are the first step modelling with SolidWorks: there is a compose piramid, so the steps are: DRAWING-MODELLING-MAKING

Using Lasser Cutter

In this part I used the Inkscape software to try some geometrics that will be cutted in a lasser cutter, I used 3mm MDF to create a pyramid and also I try with acrylic too with different Speed and Power of engraving/vector cutting.

Cutting process in Lasser Cutter & Vinyl cutter:

What about vynil cutter...

In this week I worked with vynil cutter too, I wanted to try differents cutter with machines but using the same software, I am confortable with Inkscape and SolidWorks, I think it is very helfull to use both softwares and both cutters.

Errors and lasser cutting

It is neccesary to introduce some errors of cutting because it has some variants: the cleaning of the machine, the thickness of material, the parameters like power, speed and frecuency of cutting; in this project I explored many options and the final cutting is showing below:

FabLab Yachay

At the moment that I was taking the FabAcademy program, I was the FabManager in Yachay, so it is a very interesting experience. In year 2016 it is the first time that we are taking the FAB program so it is time to enjoy it!
