laminated plywood and wood grain | material recipes
This is an exploration focusing on the effects of modeling on material properties and behavioural characteristics.
It studied the material and behavioural effects of 3-dimensional modeling and milling of laminated plywood and their eventual effects on the surface texture and grain of the laminated wood. Strips of plywood are cut and laminated together into 5"x5"x2" rectangular cubes using three different types of lamination: horizontal, vertical and 45 degree angle. One of each type is left as a cube, one of each type is cut diagonally with a band saw, and lastly one of each is milled with the cnc machine to create a set of nine study models.

lam·i·nate (lm-nt)
1. collect plywood.
2. cut plywood to specified size dimensions. (see diagram)
3. paint a thick generous coat of contact cement to both sides of gluing
surfaces.
4. let them dry for about 15 minutes.
5. press together.
6. hold together with clamp for about 15 minutes.
7. repeat steps steps 2-3 while varying the orientation of the wood grain. laminate once with a horizontal grain, once with a vertical grain, once with a 45 degree angle grain.
8. using a chop saw, band saw, and cnc mill, cut into the laminated wood and expose the difference the varying wood grain causes on the surface of the object.
score fold cut | material recipes
This is an exploration focusing on the effects of modeling on material properties and behavioural characteristics.
It studied the material and behavioural effects of 3-dimensional modeling of mylar film paper using the following three operations: score, cut and fold. Using the laser cutter, sheets are scored where folds are to be placed and cut where perforations hold pieces together.
