The main consideration for the type of material that I want to use for laser cutting is the final form in my assignment 3 design. The main focus of the my design centers around the exterior layer which covers the geometric form. As a modelling exercise, putting all the laser cut pieces together of a "weave" or "diagrid" pattern seems too problematic and time consuming, so I decided (with consultation with Melody) that it was going to be a lot easier and a lot less painfully to just using the base geometric form for the laser cut model. The intention of using acrylic was to give the finish model a "see through: look but still retain a sense of the edge of the model, as the edges of the acrylic has a different colour compared to the "faces" when placed on another surface.
