Project 1 / Box Making
For this exercise I had to choose two non-boxed in my daily surroundings. Than i had to make a box for them. I chose for a belt and a t-shirt.
First we had to sketch it on paper and then draw it in illustrator. We had to convert the Illustrator file to a DXF file and then we could cut it out in cardboard with a lazer cutter.

The first 2 times went wrong. The laser cutter cut to much.

There were a few minor faults in the design, for example that the folded corners were too big. And the sides of the opening compartment were also too small.

The viewing hole for the design of the shirt was also not in the right place. I have adjusted this in the new design.
