Title: Laser Cutting Cardboard
Goal: Students will apply their Rhino skills to recreate pieces of their deep-sea creature from their cardboard explorations.
Instructions: Using the skeletal structure of your deep-sea creature from our previous exercises, choose one piece of the model you created by hand and re-create it in Rhino using the following workflow:
1. Identify the primitive 2D shapes that make up your model. Measure these shapes with a ruler and draw them on paper.
2. Transfer your drawn shapes in Rhino, ensuring they are the correct dimensions.
3. Choose how you will connect your pieces - do they need a hole for a bolt to screw through? A score line to make a fold? A cutout for another piece to fit through?
4. Make any necessary modifications to the shapes in your file to be more realistic.
Bonus: Try cutting out and scoring patterns in your pieces to mimic the texture of your sea creature!
Deliverables: In the Responses tab above, make a post that includes the following:
- A scan of your sketch
- A screenshot of your Rhino file
- Photos of your laser-cut parts, assembled
- Your Rhino file attached
