One cut wonder

As the title reads i am attempting a one cut wonder. (i.e. one laser cut shot to cut the whole sectional model due to it being FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY FUN FUN FUN FUN! NOT!) I've followed Michael's approach and cut a section from my rhino model, now I just have to figure out each surface's material for the laser cut bed. *Sigh
(yes this project deserves a giant sigh)

But on the bright side the lab now has a new temporary HVAC system! Yay no more germ infested hot air!

Physical Model - Prep

Ive been working on my laser files for tomorrow morning. I like to approach models by creating a 3D model of my scale model according to the sizes of materials avaliable in the shop. This helps with getting the laser files together as well as having a reference avaliable when your assembling the model. It helps with knowing if your model won't work without wasting time once things are cut.
