Halcyon Laser Cutting file


Illustrator is the best available program for producing intricate patterns and designs ready for laser cutting. The first stage of creating the Halcyon pattern involved producing a swatch. The transform warp tools were then used to generate the bulges and depressions in the pattern to achieve a pattern reminiscent of my concept design. 

The best way to get a sense of scale of the bowl I found personally was to print it out the file and identify where holes may be too close together or too far apart. I printed my file out several times before I was pleased with the layout of the holes.
