Hi Will

Would it not be better to etch this?

Cheers

Hi Jim,

you may be right, at least for the 'detail' outer layer. I will probably stick with laser cutting for the four thicker,plastic structural 'chunks', and experiment with the best way to make the overlays that give the bridge its character.

It will be interesting finding out!

Hello Will

This looks very interesting. If the laser cutter is anything like the one I use then a black line is a full cut line and a red one a half cut or 'etch' line. There is no need to make it out of etched metal as the laser cutter should do it fine. What material are you planning on getting it cut from? The bridge I did I got cut from plywood and super glued it together and it made a very strong bridge. I am looking forward to seeing the progress.

I'm really curious to see how your laser cutting works out Will. It may be the way forward for some of the bridge components for my project!

Should be posting some pics soon, finishing off the Corel Draw work today.. then just need to try to blag some time using Katie's laser cutter!
