Assignment 5

For the fifth assignment for BENV2426 i wanted to create and model a natural system.  Initially i wanted to create the natural system of a tree.  However, due to the accessibility and availability of 3d printing I decided not to model a tree system for the fifth assignment.

Researching at a smaller scale i decided to then look at different leaf types.

Taking inspiration for different leafs, I really liked the form and shape of a Maple leaf.

After doing some research of Maple leafs i decided that this was the natural system i was going to recreate and laser cut for my final assignment.

The image below was found on the 'Grasshopper3D' website.
I intend to recreate the below image.

Due to the sizing limits of the laser cutter i had to split my model into two halves.
below are some images of the forms progression and overall view of the script, the final script will be shown at a smaller scale.
