Laser cut mesh


Smallest scale yet creates a stretchy mesh like surface

Inserting pieces of tubing into expanding surface

This week I have been on the laser cutter trying out my template on the smallest scale yet. I think this is the smallest I can go with out it ripping but I will try to go smaller next time I go on.  It has transformed the neoprene into almost a mesh type fabric that could be used in clothing or sportswear. It is really stretchy so would work well over knees or elbows, and it is breathable.


I have also tried inserting pieces of tubing into the surface, holding the shape in place. It will be interesting to see what else I could use, perhaps make my own pieces on the laser cutter. This could be a good way to start adding colour.
