cutting

For a project at the V2_lab we had to develop a transparent touchpad in textile. For this we needed to create circuit boards that are thin, small, easy to mount on a textile substrate and more or less flexible. To create such a circuit board we started to experiment with cutting copper foil on the CAMM-1 at Protospace fablab.

I started with an idea to make a bag only using the lasercutter.

I took some thin 3mm multiplex for the body of the bag.

I made a digital file in Illustrator. Because I didn't want to have te lasercutter rastering the image on the bag, I wanted to keep the print in hairline, but just cpoy-pasted the image a few times while moving them a bit. This gives a really special-effect when looking at the bag, because it gives you the feeling you see dubble... (Or was it something else...?)
