Week 2: Cube via Laser

For this project, we were given the assignment of creating a perfect, 3" cube using the laser cutter and 1/8" thick baltic birch plywood. Professor Peck focused on creating tabs that would not extend beyond the framework, and would fit perfectly.

Cube, painted with acrylic and oil paint.

Cube design in Illustrator

Craft:
The cube is designed in Adobe Illustrator and laser cut out of 1/8" Baltic Birch. The tabs were 1" across, and the cube's sides needed to be 2.75" to its main edges, which would make the full cube 3".

Concept & Composition:
I designed the cube to have a 1.75" hole in the center, and painted the finished product with pink acrylic and blue oil paint.
