Research

Before I could decide to bend acrylic I had to first find out 
the best and easiest method of doing this. I looked at 
videos,online articles and talked to a friend who has bent
acrylic before and have decided that the best method is 
using a heat gun. I chose the heat gun because I will not
be bending the acrylic very much, just slight bends.




Slotting

I have researched slotting along with laser cutting and have
found that precision is the key to making a successful model.
The laser cutter has a 0.2mm kerf, which means that the laser
will eat 0.1mm of material as it cuts down the line. I will have
to allow for this while drawing my profile in illustrator.
