Laser Cutting Workshop Bottle Structure


After the laser cutting session, i was left with the pieces of the bottle net that would therefore allow me to combine together, forming this bottle shaped 3D structure in which i feel is highly effective and successful. With the laser cutter being a new device to produce such structures, i am intrigued and interested in using such devices in future projects, as its use is quick, easy and the final outcome is highly accurate to what you intend to create as a designer.

Here is the Jpg file of my Illustrator net in which by using the 'Pen Tool', i constructed a net that when come comes together, forms a 3D structure in which resembles a bottle in it's shape. From our Illustrator tutorial within a previous IT Session, i was able to independently construct and finish these nets in my own time. Once i had done this, i saved the illustrator file/ net as an EPS file, as this would allow me to later on cut these nets out using a laser cutter, as this was the appropriate file format needed for this laser cutting session.
