I set up my designs in pro engineer to work on the CNC router. However, as luck would have it there were technical issues with the machines and it was looking unlikely that I would get on. With the deadline looming, I went with an alternative route. I have now sliced my design into 82 3mm slices of plywood using the laser cutter. A longer process but it meant I could get on with the work and start gluing my pieces together.
After hours and hours of gluing, I now have my final shape. I'm going to have to use some filler to get the smooth curves into my design as using the laser cutter has meant that these curves are currently made up out of a series of straight ridges.
