Laser Cutting

weekly assignments

  • connect their first sketches of ideas with the possibility of making an interactive system that can help people with disabilities, according to what the persona can trigger and third, the device performs a function either mechanical, visual, tactile, sound or interconnection with another device for communication.
  • define possible interaction
  • define how the device would work
  • which parts of the body involve the user's function or disability how we could do it in the lab. approximately to say that tools devices we need for it
  • search for references and related works
  • Place the Material you like to cut in the Laser cutter

    The lines you want to cut can be colored for differiention between many values of power or speed, the Laser should go on the material. For this material I used Power: 20, Speed: 100, Frequency: 100. This term is called colour-mapping

    After you chose the setting, you need to set the laser in the right distance, as well as place it on the point, where it should start.

    Colour-mapping can be used to figger out which settings should be used. Basically you draw some figueres and try out different values of power, speed and so on to evaluate which one fits best for your specific material

    As you can see, the Laser has cutted succesfully and all cuts were clear (nothing burned)
