Week Four
Laser Cutting
The laser cutting starts with the unroll of the panels and waffle sstructure. The unroll of waffle structure is pretty much straight forward, which can be easily finished in Grasshopper. However, the process of unrolling the panels are more difficult as only a maximum of 3 panels can be unrolled at the same time without any overlapping. The size of the tabs along the etch curves of the unrolling surfaces are also important to notice. this is because sometimes there will be some overlaps of two tabs which are close together if the space in-between is limited, while it will be much harder to stick the tabs together is ther tabs are too narrow.
