REVERSE ENGINEERED OBJECT - Final

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This project took me a very long time to finish. It has many components that need to be measured, but luckily, we learned most methods in class, so it is not too hard.  The assemble took me much longer time than I expected, there are a few issues:  1) Some parts are not quite fit to each other. Even though in the drawing process, I tried my best to measure, errors still exist. Sometimes I felt it is not that important, the final outcome was just a concept, and it was fine to be not accurate.

But the high contract part was good.  The first laser cut attempt Based on the first version,  I improved my original design and increased the contract. And changed the wood to Birch Plywood.  I also wanted to try a hollow design with simpler patterns. So I designed the second pattern. Both patters look good now, and I like them.
