Contour of the image.

Add [yellow] cut in the middle of the form n°1 to be connected with the form n°2 by the form n°3.

In the extremity, shape to create volume. (this idea is no longer relevant).

  * test on paper : Laser Cut

export file in DXF.

- first test :

power **20**  ; speed **80**  ; corners **10**  (not enough power and speed)

- second test :

power **35**  ; speed **90**  ; corners **25 **  (power ok ; speed next time 85 - start to not be precise)

connecting the pieces together, (difficult because the paper is not flexible) I realize that the empty forms remained on the paper could be cross-over perfectly together.

  * Test with the 'negative' form

//Positioned on illustrator to have an overview.//

  * Create cut to make the structure stronger.

circle with '**male' cut**  ; circle with '**femele'**  **cut**.

  * Adding the form n°1 and n°3 to stabilize the structure and create volume.

{{:fabricademy2017:students:pauline_bianchi:modular_week3:capture_d_ecran_2017-10-17_a_12.11.29.png?nolink&400x362}}

Creating cuts [yellow]

form n°1 (femele cut) will connect the form n°3 (male cut) and form n°4.

  * Materials

**Satin polyester**. Two different green fused with a **double face fusing**  to a **plastic rigid fishnet**  from //Marché Saint-Pierre. (means composition unknown)//

{{:fabricademy2017:students:pauline_bianchi:modular_week3:image3.jpg?nolink&300x400|image3.jpg}}

ISSUE : //fusing is not strong enough, next time choose glue. Means that the middle part of the panel was the only place to position the forms.//

//So not enough forms to cover a body.//

//Also not enough time to laser cut all the piece and with other colour.//

  * Laser Cut

//Used the machine in Paris, has been kindly programmed for my files. (thanks to Fablab la Villette - makerz)//

  * Assembly

forms n°4

{{:fabricademy2017:students:pauline_bianchi:modular_week3:img_4322.jpg?nolink&500x473|img_4322.jpg}}

  * assembling with form n°1 and n°3

{{:fabricademy2017:students:pauline_bianchi:modular_week3:fullsizerender.jpg?nolink&500x449|fullsizerender.jpg}}

ISSUE : //legs of the form n°1 are too small and fragile.//

//cuts of the form n°3 are too small, the legs don't pass and break.//

//make it thicker and choose a stronger fishnet. this one burn with laser.//

//Maybe don't use the fishnet for the form n°1 to be able to pass into the cuts.//
