Everyone grabs a cuff when they buy coffee, but Sweeney decided to make attractive, reusable plywood cuffs. The cuff bends because the creator used laser Kerf-bending. He cut slits and designs into the plywood which reduced the closed surface area and made the wood more flexible.
These pieces are created by turning 3D images into unfolded 2D polygons and then laser printing them on fabric. The polygons are then sewn together. Though these steps create a digital twin of the original 3D image, they also allow the viewer to see in a different way.
This project uses a laser cutter on bread to create the perfect PB&J sandwich. This piece has four layers all with deep cuts so that the sandwich can be pulled apart; the bottom layer has shallow cuts to create a toast pattern and deeper cuts for the pull away sections, the next layer has compartments for jelly, the following layer has compartments for PB, and the top layer has shallow “toast” lines and lines to show the order to eat the sandwich in.
Herbert Hoover has been a sculpture artist for 20 years. His work is included in a permanent collection at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. He often creates 3D model dinosaur skeletons using a laser cutter, and by request has begun working on prototypes for “human-dinosaur” models.
I am a sucker for Doctor Who, and apparently so is Tim O’Brien. He has posted a few laser cut projects to thingiverse.com, a site that provides DIY project instructions, and many of his projects involve Dr. Who’s Tardis. This cardboard Tardis is fantastic, as he paid close attention to detail and demonstrated using joints as well as etching in other visual elements. He provides the file and instructions for this if interested.
Teags Humm created this piece as a typography installation for class. This project is a student work intended for use at an event such as the Melbourne International Film Festival. Orange, yellow, and blue acrylic were combined for this flashy layered look. Small transparent rods and placed in holes cut from the geometric shapes in order to stack pieces that finally read “FILM”. The piece was cut at Melbourne Laser Cutter, a professional service for designers and small businesses.
His projects are typically related to constructions; it takes form of construction objects such as trucks and it is often made with materials such as cement and steel that are easily found in construction sites. He uses laser cutter to make the basis of his sculpture and curve in elaborate gothic patterns into it. Most of his laser cutting project has theme of Gothic.
Her works are cut out elaborately and has a theme of Christmas, jungle, sweet home and all other festive season. She uses the book as an axis and each page of the book becomes a layer that has different stories of the same theme. She plans her work using 3D CAD programming and transform 2D surfaces to a rich visual sculpture using the laser cutter.
The furnitures designed by Studio Job has elaborate patterns that has more function than a mere furniture; it is treated more as an art piece rather than a furniture itself. Their works are based on personal fascinations; in this series it was 17th century German folk art which they interpreted to make it look more quirky and patterned. They used laser-cut inlays to print the farm imagery on to the furnitures.

This project entails a larger-than-life photo-realistic head made of paper, worn by the artists and photographed in his usual surroundings. The project combines color printing, with origami inspired unfolding/folding performed by Pepakura, and situated photographic documentation.
