Background: As the person was a fan of Star Wars they wanted to create a version of Monopoly that they could customise. There were aware that there is a commercial version available however they did not want to use this as they wanted to have more control over some of the locations that were in place. The student decided to look at using Laser Cutting to produce the cards that were available for the game as it would make them memorable and also durable and they could include specific detail that could be researched and looked at for the purpose of the game. Each of the individual cards took around sixty seconds to laser cut out so the entire set for the game was not too labour intensive. The student used Sketch Up to design the cards which were then printed on the schools industrial sized laser cutter.
The design process took minutes. The dimensions of the cards measures 50mm across and are 80mm high. The cards are 6mm thick which is the width of the MDF.
The student was also considering how to use the sticker machine to help with the game presentation as either the way to product the decals for the board or to enhance the presentation of the board.
