Process & Procedure

[Outline your approach to the project. What steps did you take to design, model, sketch, and prototype this projects? What ideas did you generate and how did you refine or reject them? How did you use cutting, etching, scoring? What challenges were encountered and how did you resolve them? Include photos of prototypes, redesigned sketches, design worksheets, and failed trails.]

I jumped right into Fusion and prototyping with the laser cutter. I began with the hands, however I found it difficult to get the right engraving and cutting measurements. Some came out flimsy and smoking, some came out uncut. I then gave up on 2d modeling, and began to extrude models, creating a render of my whole clock. I found this to be much simpler. The current clock is my first full cut.
