Modular Paper City
     digital fabrication


     Dipti Sonawane
concept

Creating an imaginary Cityscape out of paper.
All the structures can be assembled or disassembled.
The city lights up in an animated manner, the speed
controlled by a potentiometer. The idea is to make an
imaginary and magical landscape out of paper. It’s an
experiment exploring paper, laser cutting, making 3D
structures and basic electronics.
initial iterations using mdf

•	Different types of joinery
•	Used 3mm. MDF to explore modular structures
•	Tried to explore interesting structures
initial iterations using paper

•	Different types of joinery
•	Used normal A4 sheet paper to understand the
  constructions in paper
•	Hand cut all structures using a craft knife
•	Many joineries did not work using the thin sheet of
  paper and needed to be glued
laser cutting the structures

•	Used normal A4 colored paper to try the joineries in
  paper
•	The settings used to cut and crease the paper worked
  but needed some testing
•	The joinery, cutting and creasing worked perfectly
•	Vector settings used for cutting the thin paper, speed
  -100, power - 30, frequency - 5000
•	Color mapping settings, Red (for creasing) Speed -
  40, power - 2, frequency - 500
charlieplexing circuit

•	Is a technique where one can drive and control
  multiple LEDs using a microcontroller.
•	Used open source resources to figure out the circuit.
•	Used an Arduino to control the LEDs
exploring more structures

•	Wanted to test intricate patterns using the laser cutter
vinyl cutting copper sheet

•	I decided to use a copper sheet to build my circuit at
  the base of the city
•	I cut thin stripes of 3mm - 4mm with rounded
  corners, as the vinly cutter cannot cut at 90° angle
•	Settings for the vinly cutter, force - 140, speed - 1cm,
  pen settings - +1
final project

•	Created new structures for the final project
•	Used white 130 gsm paper to laser cut all the final
  structures.
•	Used a 14”x14” 3mm acrylic sheet for the base of the
  city
•	Using a waste sheet under the white sheet helped
  protect the paper from burn marks
•	Vector settings for cutting, speed - 100, power - 30,
  frequency - 5000
•	Color mapping settings, Red (for creasing), speed -
  40, power - 2, frequency - 500 (select vector)
Thank you!
