Digital Fabrication

Workbook with my ideas and sketches Last image: An idea of having the acrylic pieces taped up and then sandblasted to create a pattern.

Final Model: Second to last image: rewind, play, pause and fast forward button. Last image: 3.5mm jack got filed up with the support.

Acrylic Material

This Sketch shows the intended design of my 3D Model + Laser Cut. It was meant to be two halves of boxes joint together at the center, however I had to rotate my 3D Model on Cura for it to be able to print without the supports, when I rotated my 3D Model the dimensions changed and I was left with a final print that didn’t align with my laser cut pieces. Therefore I was forced to cut out a small square that could slot into the 3D Model.

Final 3D Model

These are 10 digital 3D models I created using SketchUp.

MDF is denser than plywood and is stronger than a particle board.

These are the failed design panels for my jewelry box, I intended these to have slots going vertically so that the jewelry box could be divided into 3 compartments, but the laser cutter cut out a massive chunk in the middle of the panel instead.

My final jewelry box design that I settled on.

Main Jewelry box design measurements.

For the first mood board, I wanted to showcase the material and colour I intended to use for my design, which is brown and natural materials such as wood. Whereas the second mood board showcases the design of my box that I want it to look like.
