Hey Everyone! This is the design and build of my practice serial slicing
project. It kind of looks like an abstract architectural form, this
would be an awesome building.
Here is the original form
in maya shown in solid and line view. I created several pyramids and
"boolean union"ed them together to create one cohesive shape.

Next I divided the structure up into many slices
using a Rhino plug in called Grasshopper. The red lines show the slices
that the laser will read later to cut into the material so the pieces
can be stacked to create a 3 dimensional object.

Here
are the slices organized and ready to be laser cut. The magenta edges
indicate an outer cut, blue an innercut and red is text which is
rastered in rather than cut all the way through.

Here is the practice stack of the structure, Looks good-time to glue!

I glued and clamped the structure in three increments so it would dry neatly.
