Unit 3: Handheld Diagram Development

I researched materials and process for the UV printer so I could get a good idea of what it would look like to build layers on transparent acrylic.

First test on the UV printer

I came up with a few layouts for how the annotations would be stacked behind one another.

I also spent days trying to learn Rhino and then discovered it was totally unnecessary because the CNC router takes plain old Illustrator files.
Ready to be glued together
Laser cut the acrylic pieces (still has protective plastic on)
Slotted into place
And back to the UV printer!
The type in dark blue wasn’t legible through the acrylic- so had to wipe it down and reprint the red and pink slides in white ink.
