Exercise 4: Papercraft Construction

A 3D model of Kev’s chihauhua Archie, from Kevs Robots

Using a combination of 3d primitives and solid editing tools, design a paper-craft sculpture you want to fabricate.
Using the week 3-1 and week3-2 tools UnrollSrf, Explode, and your 2d drawing tools, flatten this object into a series of pieces that can be fashioned from cut paper.
Add paper tabs as necessary for assembly.
Cut this design using the laser cutter and bring it, assembled, to class on Tuesday.
Simple is ok! I want to you to gain experience with the workflow.

Upload your complete rhino file.
Take 3-4 screenshots of your rhino object, and add them to your digital sketchbook.
Fabricate your design with the lasercutter.
Update your sketchbook with photos, sketches, and snapshot of your rhino file and your fabricated object.
Upload your files to Canvas: (use the naming convention ex4_Lastname_1.jpg and ex4_Lastname.3dm for the files.)
- photograph of object
- rhino file (.3dm) of model
- flat design (.svg) of laser cut file
