Background: Student was looking for ideas for a project and saw some of the off cuts from another students projects. The student then decided that this would be the basis for an original project. The student wanted to create a layered effect with the laser cutter to produce a series of layers to create a frame for a regulation photograph (as shown left).
The design process was based around the corner pieces (which were a series of circles) with the addition of the three layers of the print.
The project was then joined and put together with wood glue and set.
Level of Difficulty: Low - the student was able to create and execute this project completely independently. They had previously worked on more complicated projects but these had been very detailed with the student following a teachers set of videos as shown in this post.
Timeframe: Five minute. This task potentially could be completed by a full classroom with the variation provided by the corners of the frame - the decoration of the MDF./Bamboo is another potential for some variation.
Size: The current frame as shown in the photograph 150mm across and 200mm high. Each of the layers of the from is 5mm thick so 15mm before the final corner edging.
What we would do differently/next steps for the students: As noted the student was responsible for the design and execution of the project. They currently have no stand at the back which could potentially be developed but otherwise the project is complete. We completed 3D Printed versions of a stand in 2018 the details of which can be located here.
