Do we think this was done with CAD somehow? I’ve seen thing like this before done with MDF using CNC machines. Not sure what the technique is called.
Very cool however. I was surprised by its size when I watched the video!
Well, it definitely uses some CAD… I’m guessing they used a 3D CAD model, sliced it up (the results are called “sliceforms” – check it out on flickr), then cut using a laser cutter.
“sliceforms”, thank you googling that immediately gave me my answer. I shall now spend the rest of the evening browsing inspiration.
This was actually covered by Make:

Is the US F1 in that much trouble ?
Check on youtube for the MIT student project, hilarity ensues.
I’ve been meaning to investigate sliceforms, thanks for the reminder Make!
Thanks for the great post on your blog, it really gives me an insight on this topic.

Fantastic, what a way to use up a shoebox, and what a build….
