Cardboard Full Scale Mock-up Progress

20 Sheets of cardboard and an hour and a half of laser cutting later....
This is a cardboard mock-up of the layers of felt I will be cutting. The cardboard is 1/8" instead of 1/4", so it is not completely accurate to the final aesthetic, but it will give me a good idea of seat dimensions/comfort and form insight.

Test Scale Model




I did a test cut, not reflective of the final design at all, just a test to see how the laser cutter works with felt. This particular felt is Ecospun - Polyester made from recycled post consumer plastic bottles.
