Abstract
LaserOrigami, a rapid prototyping system that
produces 3D objects using a laser cutter.
- Method : focused and defocused
- 3 main designs : the bend, the suspender, and the stretch
- 2 design tools: Visio CAD and interactive fabrication

Contribution
the concept of rapid prototyping of 3D objects using a laser cutter
Faster and cheaper than 3D printing
*Cons
Limited length of what can be bent or suspended in one piece. If a bend is too long, it cools down faster than the laser can heat it up.
Future work
Eliminate the need for preprogramming laser cutter behavior
by instead programmatically monitoring the workpiece with a webcam or heatcam.
