I put together a patten template on Adobe Illustrator, so I could try out the college laser cutter. Below is an image of what my template looked like when I first started this process.
I have also attached another more updated image of my final template. The black part is going to stay and the white parts will be cut away. I was hoping to go for a lattice effect and think that the design turned out really well. Although I used a simple heart image to trace at the beggining, all the rest I did by hand and did not trace or follow any guidelines.
I will update this post by adding the finished cut out design, let's hope it works!
*UPDATE
Here was the first trial of using the laser cutter:
The cut lines weren't sharp and some of the cut outs broke or didn't fully cut. We adjusted the settings slightly and this is the second trial:
This worked a lot better and am really happy with the results.
