Laser Cutter Purchase Proposal (Notes)

  • Recipient: Dean ""
  • Review: RC
  • Status: Napkin Sketch
  • Authorship: Sebastien Bailard -> RC, Shem, Janak

Notes: This material may be extraneous to RepRap, but we can use it as a template for RepRap purchase proposals and funding.

Description

100 word discription: how big, what model, what wattage, cost estimate, exhausts go where?, safety protocols, identify stakeholders.

Gallery

We are building up an imagebank/link-bibliography of the background and context of using a laser cutter in user-fabricated art, tech, and design. This will motivate the purchase, and motivate the students once we've got it.

Context/Background

Practice

Theory: Architecture Pedagougy and Laser Cutters

Addressing 3D form using 2D fabrication. Not going to treat this as graphic design Tool: MacBook Tattoos ridiculously mediagenic example which does addressing human needs and wants, but we're thinking 3D primarily. Modelmaking, 3D, Math Laser

Modules

DFF modules. Integrate into curriculum?

Did not address that with CNC router.

Self-guided play

Learning, experimentation, etc. As natural as drawing in a sketchbook, chiseling a beam, or modeling in plasticine. Best mode to engage student.

Desired Learning Outcomes

What does the student walk away with?
