Choice Project

Like our last project i had a hard time figuring out what i was going to do. But i ended up making something for my grandma.  

Here is what it looks like in Fusion; with a pocket for the letters and the extra 1/8 inch pocket for the square like shape.

After being cut in the CNC it was time to sand it and spray paint it.

In adobe illustrator i made the piece that goes into the extra pocket. Here i used the camera in the laser machine to move the piece into an empty spot in the wood.

I used 1/8 inch wood and cut it in the fusion pro epilog laser. Which in the beginning i was originally going to use the CNC, but i realized that for this piece the laser cutter would do the same thing just faster and easier ( for me).

Here i did all of the same thing that i did with the wood, but with the acrylic that i used was clear so i spray painted it blue.

Here are all of the pieces outside of the laser cutter. I realized that i for got to take of the protective layer of paper before laser cutting, so i had a tedious time taking off of every individual letter.

On the Helix epilog laser i cut out a template so then when i put my letters on my piece they are perfectly placed.

Here i have some leaves that i cut in the fusion pro and engraved.

Im spray painting the back because i used a clear acrylic.

Now i only have some small tasks to do like painting the outer edge and glueing all of the letters on/ leaves!

Here is my final piece!
