“Brickworks” by Daniel Widrig is a repetitive work, centric about a convex hexagonal and square form. While there are no details about the construction on the artist’s webpage, it looks to be either fitted panels of laser-cut chipboard, or mill-cut panels.
Robert Feyereisen, originally trained in architecture, laser cuts a 3D bridge. He constructed this model out of cardboard through designing simple geometric shapes, such as rectangles and triangles that fit tightly together.

The artists Mashallah Design and Linda Kostowski collaborated to create a T-Shirt design. They created surfaces that fit together 3dimensionally that were later sewn together.

Amanda Ghassaei has utilized the laser cutter to create a record. Her material is wood and the record player is able to read it and play back music from the precise lines that were etched.

This toy is the winning pattern of a laser cutting design contest; it is a series of colored paper circles cut with hexagonal grids of different-sized holes. When they are layered and turned, they produce colored patterns reminiscent of fireworks (which is the meaning of the name).
This is part of a purse and jewelry series by Sivan Royz made of laser-cut silk held together with string. In the range of 600 sheets of silk are laser cut into organic forms and then strung together. There are cavities inside the purses shaped to hold objects such as iPhones and lipstick, which can be accessed by pulling the layers apart.
This is a laser-cut pop-up book by Ingrid Siliakus in which each “page” section is cut and folded from a single sheet of paper. Siliakus uses many layers to simulate architecture, making stairs out of narrow, diagonally-set slits and roofs out of negative space. Some sections are cut entirely away (such as windows) while other negative spaces are created when the paper on either side of complex line cuts is folded apart.

This piece’s abstract story-line focuses on the various cultural changes experienced in America over the past couple of years, particularly the economic downturn and the resulting shift in values and beliefs of some of the population. The 800+ frames comprising this stop-motion animation were created by using a laser cutter to engrave wooden blocks. The frames were then photographed and assembled into the transfixing animation above.
“Nomadic Wonderland” by Eunsuk Hur is a series of combined wall installations and fashion pieces. To create this work the artist modeled a myriad of abstract forms both organic and geometric, to be cut out in leather and felt using a laser cutter. Each piece includes several slots, so that one may fit into the others, creating a continuous modular textile. Since no adhesive is used, the pieces may be reworked into many different shapes as the artist sees fit.
This piece is a combination of two things commonly used for the act of holding: a hand, and a bowl. It was digitally modeled through a combination of Poser, Blender, and Autodesk 123D Make, and then laser cut into 40 layers of interlocking birch plywood.
