Lasercut tests¶
Having found the material I thought would perform best, I wanted to create a small sample to see if my material would lend itself to the interlocking module I designed on Rhino.
I took some agar samples to study what cutting settings would be needed for my material.
Lasecut settings¶
| Biomaterial | Speed | Max Power | Min Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 40 | 80 | 50 |
| B | 50 | 50 | 50 |
| C | 60 | 50 | 60 |
| D | 70 | 60 | 50 |
| E | 50 | 40 | 50 |
In testing with the lasercut machine, I realized that the machine settings that worked best with my material was the D test
Sample in Agar (sulfur and iron oxide)¶
I tested my materials on a small scale and it seems to work the sample created
I designed my interlocking module on Rhino for my small bioplastic sample. the module later will be replicated so as to get longer strips.
