Some amazing CNC artworks

We don't have chance to use CNC machine to make our own artwork in this quarter.
These are some good examples of CNC artworks.




Moreover, I really love this artwork of shoes by using CNC machine.

 "This shoe is named after a deadly octopus from the Pacific Ocean (Hapalochlaena Lunulata) that has large bright blue rings on its mantle. The intricate perforations for the upper were laser-cut and she then coloured the edges by hand. The wooden heel structures also resemble the texture of the octopus skin and have been made using a CNC milling machine. Due to their complex structure each heel took between 7 and 14 days to make!"

What Dose CNC Mean?

CNC means Computer Numerical Control. This means a computer converts the design produced by Computer Aided Design software (CAD), into numbers. The numbers can be considered to be the coordinates of a graph and they control the movement of the cutter. In this way the computer controls the cutting and shaping of the material.

CNC Machine in SCAD :)
We visited this digital lab this afternoon in class :)



One of super cool Prototypes made by CNC Machine in SCAD



Wow ! Fantastic Laser Cut Artwork! (Material: Transparent Acrylic)

My laser out horse is done~I got many crystal pieces.Take away the rest of pieces in the hollowed out parts from the horse.   


Tear-off the back sticker~ Clean material~



Visually, this laser cut empaistic photo seems a bit of weak.
This is original photo I used.

My laser cut design works & inspiration

This is my design work for laser cut. I use Ai to create this drawing. I wanna cut a photo, and a horse. 
2014 is horse year. I use Chinese traditional paper cut style to create this horse. 

What is Chinese traditional paper cut?
Here are some examples

 The instructions need to follow when you are using Ai to create your own design works.

My tiny minion was done by 3d print machine.

Wow, a tiny minion was printed out.
However, one of its super tiny hands was lost : (
