For my design inspiration I kept skeletons in mind. When
using the modular pieces in class I noticed that I wanted to use smaller pieces
to have more control of my building. This made me think of the bones in my
hand. There are many little intricate bones that allow the hand to take many
shapes. So I made smaller pieces in hopes that I could have more control and
sharper details when building a structure from the modular pieces.
A friend of mine had an extra wood board sitting in his garage,
I asked him if could have a 48 by 24 inch chunk of it. He obliged and cut it
for me but it came out a little wonky, I hope it won't be an issue for the
laser cutter.
I worked with my grid in millimeters, for simplicity sake. I
measured by wood board to be about 4 mm thick, so on the grid, I used had a
major grid line every 4 mm. I figured that this way would make the creating the
pieces easier for me.
Since the grid was set up the way it was it was easy for me
to make the shapes I needed with just using the rectangle tool and the curve boolean.
I would just overlay the rectangles and use the curve boolean to combine them. I did use the
array pole for the circular pieces, I also mirrored at areas that made it convenient.
