Using CAD programmes – Laser Cutter

Using CAD programmes – Laser Cutter

I booked my induction on the laser cutter this was very interesting, managed to work out a design to use (many thanks to David the technician who was able to transfer my image into the right programme ) I then cut my fabric its an amazing process to watch ,watching the laser dart backwards and forwards.  I booked another session.

I found the negative shapes left on the bed more interesting than the cut fabric length, I collected these bits and have used them later in screen prints.

Learning to take forward.

I must develop my CAD skills as I found the laser cut really interesting, also realised the laser cutter produce 2 outcomes which is the most useful bit ?

Experiment with different fabrics, following sublimation print experiment’s I want to try laser cutting these.
