Laser Cut Coaster: Select, Refine, Design

Laser Cut Coaster: Select, Refine, Design 


Expanding the concept work from last week’s class, I chose the horse cup coaster design to expand upon. 

During critique I had some feedback to lower the design as a tall horse would be impractical and risked instability. I flattened the design out and committed more to a cartoonish look.

In my main render, I have the neck adjusted downwards for a flatter surface. 




On the flat view, there is some hatching on the face of the horse, the tail, and on the back for an engraved saddle. 


I had some difficulty with the neck of the horse as it interferes with the function of the coaster. I have a rendered alternate version where the neck slightly intrudes into the cup area; however, the 100mm x 100mm allows the coaster to still be functional.
