The final design of the bowl was then created into line graphics that was then sent to the Digital Workshop to be laser cut. Once it was laser cut I began sanding the acrylic so that it would look more like a finished product, by rounding the edges and removing the laser markings.
Below are some images of the step by step production process, after the acrylic had been laser cut with the design.
1) From the Digital Workshop: The acrylic is covered with a plastic film for protection.
2) After peeling the film, the acrylic has a gloss and highly reflected surface. Edges are sharp and laser marks are evident along the sides the laser cut the design.
3) After sanding with 180, 240 and 320 grain sand paper to matt the surface. Then wet sanding with 600 grain sandpaper. Finally polishing the surface with cut and polish.
4) Placed in the oven to be heated and then bent over a wok to create the 3D form of a fruit bowl.
5) The bowl
