Layers Project I made rangoli, which is art that is created using colored sand and sometimes other materials too during festivals. I used acrylic to make the layers and then I used superglue to stick them. I used acrylic to make the lantern and used a small flashlight from a pen for the light source….
Lantern Project
I used warli art to make my lantern. I put tissues to diffuse the light.
Layers Project
This is my Layers Project and I used three different colors of 1/8th inch acrylic sheets.
Altered Toys Project
Final Project Update: I decided to multiple the bottom peg size by 1.075 to make it a little bit easier to join them together without as much sanding. Also, I added holes running from the bottom to make them lighter, and to make them sound more like Legos when I held a bunch together and…
Final Projects – Jonathan Amirault
Layers Project I have always been super fascinated with working with silhouettes, as well as natural beauty. I decided to create a combination of both of the, in this scene by creating a rastered wolf near the front of the piece to draw the viewers eye in. I decided to design this piece off of…
Final Projects
Layers My layers project went through several iterations. I started with a 3-layer design, but I eventually settled on a 2-layer design that showed off the backdrop of my project more beautifully. I based this project on the idea that trust is an expensive gift. Lantern My lantern project worked out beautifully with my initial…
Altered Toys Project WIP (Jonathan Amirault)
For this project, I went for a blend between 2 of my favorite interests as a child. Both Legos and the intricacies of puzzles was always so interesting to me as a kid. For this project I created a traditional 2X4 studded Lego with altered top caps as connecting pieces. When I first printed these,…
Altered Toys Design (Jonathan Amirault)
As a kid, one of my absolute all time favorite toys to play with were Legos. They were so straight forward, you could never really “mess up” when building with Legos as they could fit together in any way you tried to put them together. Something else that I used to love, and still love…

Layers Project Pictured above is my Layers project. For this project I created a depth map of the ocean surrounding my town. There are four layers, and two with raster engravings. Lantern Project For my lantern project, I created an iteration of my layers project. It incorporates light by using LED standoffs, which illuminate engraved…
Lantern Project WIP (Jonathan Amirault)
Similar to the layers project, I realized that the size of my design on Inkscape was a little too small on the first iteration. I decided to plus up the size and the power when cutting out the pieces of the boxes, and this was the result. The pieces still didn’t cut through all the…
Lantern Design (Jonathan Amirault)
For this piece I tried to create a more personal piece of artwork. My grandmother’s favorite bird was the blue jay, and whenever I see one it always reminds me of her. I decided to include a blue jay on the front of the box, while a pair of angelic wings on the top. I…
Layers Project WIP + Final Product (Jonathan Amirault
The original size that I set the cut to be ended up being way too small for the purpose that I had intended. I realized that the scale of my design in Inkscape was off from what I thought, and so when I went to raster the wolf it ended up only being about half…
Layers Design (Jonathan Amirault)
I have always enjoyed creating artwork (between photography and traditional artwork) that focuses on silhouettes rather than super detailed oriented pieces. I figured that for this project, creating a peaceful and serene natural background with a central layered focus on the silhouette of a wolf that has been raster engraved would be a good way…
First Cut (Jonathan Amirault)
For my first cut, I had a pretty difficult time figuring out how to upload a file and connect Retina Engrave to the actual laser cutter. I eventually figured out how to load the file, but when I went to print it, I noticed that a few of the vectors were completely missing. The 4…
Altered Toys Project – Ian Cody
Here is my snowboard “Tech Deck” park print. I am happy with how it came out. I only ran into trouble while removing the supports, but was able to get them off with a knife. My question is if I should also print a Tech Deck, or use a real one, and take the wheels…
Final Projects – Kyla Fu
Layers Project For my layers project, I decided to create a design that combined my younger self and current self to signify and represent how I’ve changed over time. In this project I used 1/8″ acrylic of various colors, cut using the lasercutter, and handrew this design in inkscape. I experienced my biggest setbacks with…
Altered Toys Design
For my altered toys design I decided to make my own 3D printed beyblade! I have a lot of fond memories of beyblades from my childhood and battling with my two older brothers in a plastic coliseum. I took a pieces of a beyblade from thingiverse made by Dart_ace2ace and an attack ring by Matt3ry…
Layers Project
This is my final layers project! I used 1/8″ acrylic sheets and the laser cutter to create this project. Initially I had a lot of difficulties with finalizing the design and figuring out how I wanted to layer my pieces. I hand drew this design in inkscape, first sending the photos through a cutout filter…
Lantern Project
Here is my completed lantern project along with my process! I experienced a lot of issues with tolerances from lasercutter to lasercutter which caused failed cuts where the design was only cut through partially. I’m really happy with how it turned out, definitely worth the all the time I put in! Especially just the way…
Lantern Design (forgot to post!)
Here’s the design I made for my lantern. I used trace bitmap to scan in stars and then hand placed and sized everything in inkscape. The black outline is what is being cut out of the design which I imported from my solidworks design as dxf files. Here’s the CAD design I made of my…
Final Projects – Sydney
Finally here! These are my final projects for this class. I had a great time making all of these and I’m honestly pretty happy with all of them. In reverse chronological order, here they are. Altered Toys Though my long Furby didn’t end up very long by the last class, I am still very entertained…
Design/WIP Posts I meant to make – Sydney
While I was making progress in this class steadily over the course of the term, posting about that progress was not as consistent. I still find that this type of information is helpful though, so I wanted to go over all the stuff that went into design for the Lantern and the Altered Toys (the…
3D Doodles (Geometric & Organic) – Sydney
I already had 3D modeling experience for art coming into this class and I’m posting late, but I still wanted to share the 3D doodles I made. For my geometric doodle I have this lil’ yellow submarine I made in Tinkercad! I have no clue how to use Solidworks or full CAD or anything but…
