PROJECT.02 TAIPEI TEK BUILDING MODEL MAKING

Step. 1 Model the building in Rhinoceros.

Step. 2 Extract the contours for the outlines for each layer. In this case 57 layers are needed for the 57mx57mx57m (LxWxH) cube, each layer of material(2mm acrylic board) stands for 1m height in reality in the scale 1:500.

Step. 3 Adding a thin edge to the layers that have been cut through in the front facade, which are actually sealed in reality.

 

Step. 4 Import the oulines into AI, adjust the strokes for laser cutting.

Step. 5 Laser cut the material.

Step. 6 Glue the layers according to the sequence with UHU for plastics. Here is what the 70% done model looks like.

  
Step. 7 Place the model on the base.

 

Step. 8 Model finished.
