Week Five - Starting Your Lamp Design

once you have got your frame assembled you are ready to start designing your pieces of plastic which will make your lamp. in order to do this you will need to follow these steps:

1. first of all you need to open tech soft 2D design on a computer.
2. using the appropriate tools (located on the left hand-side) draw the shapes you need. HINT: THE MORE COMPLICATED YOUR DESIGN, THE HARDER IT WILL BE TO DESIGN ON TECH SOFT.
3. once you are completely happy with your design save it somewhere where it can be accessed by a Lazar cutter so your design can be cut out in either clear, translucent acrylic or poly propylene plastic.

once you have cut yours out you will then be able to start assembling the pieces.


YOU PLASTIC WILL TAKE A WHILE TO CUT OUT.
