Design Stages
Explore my three-phase approach from design to manufacture.
Deciding Desktop Dimensions and Sizing
The first step involved balancing space efficiency with functionality to create an ideal form for both work and hobbyist environments.
01
Chosing a Gantary System
next involved the process of selecting a gantry system, emphasizing precision and stability for optimal laser cutter performance and setling on a more complex yet stable cartesian system.
02
Iterating the Design's Parts
Utilising additive fabrication techniques like Fused Deposition Modeling and Digital Light Processing 3D printing to refine each component via a modular aproach.
