Hide all other layers you don't want to cut. Separate SCORE (red lines) and CUT (blue lines) into individual layers by sheet. 001, and set the Artboard to the same size as your sheet material. For more info, here is a pretty good Instructable with detailed instructions about Operating the Epilogue Laser Cutter. The laser cutter bed is 24" x 36", and I was able to get the parts nested into 3 sheets.
#Strata scale full#
Typically when making a scale model, you want to make the model out of the same material as the full scale piece, so in this case, I was cutting 1/4" plywood. Here at the Pier 9 Workshop, we have a number of Epilog Laser cutters that can cut a lot of different materials - plywood, acrylic, paper, cardboard, to name a few. See Part 3 of 3 to see how the hollow function works for the full scale parts.Īssembly Steps - Use this to help assemble once you have the parts cut. I did not use this function for the scale model. Modify Form - Hollow, Thicken, and Shrinkwrap. I played with the angle until I saw a pattern I liked. Slice Direction - allows you to change the angle of slice. I used Stacked slices for the Strata Bench.ĭowels - are optional only with the Stacked Slice option, to help with registration for assembly. My bench is 96" long, so I set the length to 24" for a 1:4 scale.Ĭonstruction Technique - Stacked slices, interlocked, slices, curves, radial slices, and folded panels. I've noticed the program chooses the imported scale, you can reset it to whatever you like. Object Size - Set this to the scale that you want the model to be. There are preset material dimensions or you can m
For the model, I was cutting 3/16" plywood on an Epilogue laser cutter with a bed size of 24" x 36". Manufacturing Settings - Set this to the size and thickness of the sheet material you will be cutting the parts out of. All the app functions run top-down on the left side of the window, the order in which they should be used. From 123D Catch, you will export the mesh model as a.
#Strata scale update#
Restart if it crashes or is doing strange things, make sure you have the most recent update and SAVE OFTEN! That being said, the app can be buggy, and slows down when you are working with a large scale model. Its a super "user-friendly" app, so play with it to figure it out. I used the stacked slice option and added an angle to the slicing rather than just stacking vertically. You can Download 123D Make at this link, or through the App Store. 123D Make is a free app that lets you turn 3D models int 2D build plans.
