Glasses Laser Cut

So who thinks I look like a GEEK then eh?!






Fun Glasses cut out by CNC

Just thought I'd add a few images of my fun glasses cut out of the CNC milling machine at my placement school. I added a bit of engraving into the bat face features.

My Fun Glasses on 2D Design!


As my school doesn't have a Lasercutter I decided to see if I could draw my design in 2D Design. It wasn't easy but got it done! See the following screen dump of my funglasses! The purpose was to use the CNC milling machine to 'mill' out the design on a sheet of 3mm plastic foamex board with the possibility of teaching this project to a couple of Y8 classes.

My self and Rich Ritucci are on paired placement together, so we have devised a scheme to teach the funglasses. It was a pretty good result (will post images at a later date), so we now plan to start this week! We'll have to post some results on here.

Anyways please see below of some screen grabs of the process - enjoy.

p.s. the green lines are to engrave the bat face features and the red lines are for the cut.
