Testing modelfacades
For a building model scale 1:200 we tested different material (combinations) under the laser cutter.
See the results!
Conclusion: we will laser cut the pp and wood veneer separately. Glue them together afterwards (test6)
Test 1 - acrylic components in plywood acrylic melts: window frames will become to small to fill the wholes of the plywood entirely. You get a more handcraft like result
Test 2 - foil on acrylic The foil stretches so the holes will not stay in place. The result is not the same over the whole facade.
Test 3 – wood veneer on foam The foam melts by cutting the veneer
Test 4 – wood veneer on pp To cut the pp you need so much power that the veneer burns
Test5 – wood veneer on acrylic nice
Test 6 – wood veneer and pp cut separately nicest result
