The laser cutter can also be used to mark, or score, the surface of a material. This means that a single surface can be deformed in addition to cut.
I was fortunate to attend a 3D scanning project at the BBK Kulturwerk this week. The sannner is capable of creating a digital model of a physical object. The digital scan could be used to create facsimilies on the 3D printer.
This week I attended my first day at the Fab Lab in Berlin. I'll be there during September working on a series of laser cutting exercises.
Invited to the Werkbund Archive today. The research library is connected to the Museum der Dinge; a collection of design artifacts that represent the social history of design in Germany. http://www.museumderdinge.de/
Took a trip to Kunst-Stoff in Tempelhof today. This is a resource recovery depot where you can buy materials that have outlived their former use. They also have workshop space
The Kulturwerk is an associated facility of the BBK berlin. It's subsidized by the State of Berlin and offers visual artists the space to fabricate large scale works. We have been invited to view the workshops and participate in their program.
