Laser cutting machine, supporting plate...
Thanks for viewing, faving and commenting.
HMM!
Taken on the plant floor.
I did these boards for a final in my digital drawing class. I put the image and sequence together in photoshop then transferred the file to illustrator. Live traced the sequence and sent it to the laser cutter to do the rest. Super fun project!
the infamous kitchenmonster returns.
there was a great shadowmonster in our kitchen.

unknown terrorists cleaned the windows and killed or kidnapped it.
we don't know where it is, or if it's still alive.
however, we did a new one, to represent in our kitchen and drop some cool shadows outside.
Image was generated with Processing, engraved with a lasercutter in a polyester plate, then printed by hand.
This Tokyo inspired wall clock was designed by my daughter as part of a GCSE project for product design. It was made with a laser cutter from an old LP " for the record Grease original soundtrack".
5 /12 pounds of stacked acrylic, in the shape of the Offensive Combat Battle Axe.
There is a 1.5" diameter solid acrylic rod piercing the entire axe, lending strength and keeping it perfectly straight as I glued it
And yes, the edges are sharp, and yes it is fun to wield!
12-pointed star made by stacking (and gluing) 10 different layers of laser-cut chipboard (56pt thick). Shown here bordered on either side by detail-shots.
See here for a quick look at how it was made:

What is Rancor trying to lift? Any guesses?
Here's a hint: It is a new Stackrylic sculpture..but of what?
Yes, it is a battle axe: www.flickr.com/photos/95492142@N00/8444669165/in/photostr....

This is how the DL-44 looks, when imported into 123DMake, and sliced into .122" pieces.
I scaled up the original design from 3/4" to 11" to allow it to be life-sized (humanly grippable).
123D Make has a pitiful nesting algorithm, so I exported the slices and re-nested them in Corel before sending them to the laser to be sliced out of 1/8" red acrylic.
We are developing a public makerspace in Tam High School’s state-of-the-art woodshop, to create cool objects -- and grow a community of makers, students and teachers in South Marin.
Here are some of the artworks we are creating in Geo Monley’s woodworking workshop, called ‘You Can Build It’.
This week, I used the laser cutter to make characters for our City of the Future course. In this ‘maker art’ class, lower and middle school students will build a futuristic home with a cardboard ‘wonderbox’ and animated characters such as these. They will bring these wood and acrylic figures to life with lights, sounds and motion, using simple electronics.
These projects are good examples of what we could support with more maker programs for adults and teens in this new Tam High makerspace. More on this later.

Tiny scale model for a potential large project that isn't going to happen. Used a laser cutter for the first time for this and it's a pretty nice tool. If you know Illustrator or Inkscape or anything similar pretty well, you can quickly print out a few test pieces and figure out how thick to make gaps that plug into each other.
DATA BASE is an Oxford English Dictionary with the word "DATA BASE" cut into it with the laser cutter.
We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!

Our middle-school students at Tam High are building a City of the Future together, using arts and electronics to make a model of what our world may be like in 100 years.
In our fifth class, students finished their individual art boxes and started to create public spaces for their city: underwater mines, segregated neighborhoods, surface rubbles and tall skyscrapers. Students worked in teams to build these spaces together, and this week’s creations included dozens of new characters with gas masks, rooms with ladders, a pile of broken robots, and a skyscraper base with a mutilated poster of Donald Trump.
In their post-apocalyptic city of the future, the rich are separated from the poor, who mine the sea floor and are oppressed by a government run by machines. We are inviting them reach past this dystopian worldview to invent solutions to that city’s problems -- and to dream up a better world.
I am teaching this after-school class with Geo Monley, and we are happy to see our students so engaged in this project. Through this course, they are developing a range of skills, from creative expression to science and engineering (STEAM). And they are learn to create interactive art with simple electronics, in a playful and collaborative way that makes learning more fun.

The Ars Electronica Center’s FabLab is an interactive exhibition and workshop space. It is all about design, production processes and tools, reaching from different design software via a laser cutter which cuts and engraves, to a 3-D printer which realizes digital models as physical objects. Visitors can use most of the equipment in the FabLab as part of your next visit to the museum – or visit one of the versatile workshops.
