Week 7- Cylinder

        This week some of us were given the task of creating a 3 inch cylinder out of plywood using the laser cutter. To start with, we found the circumference of the smaller circle using C=πd. We used the result of this equation to determine the length of the kerf cutting we would uses to wrap around the circles to create a cylinder. After getting all off the measurements we used Illustrator to create the cutting document for the laser.  To create the kerf cutting, I used the shape builder tool to make a rectangle with the center cut out and a little extender piece. Then I copied and pasted that until it was around the length of the rectangle I had made that was the length of the circumference of the inner circles.After that I used the shape builder tool to make it all one shape. Then I used the shape builder tool again after putting the kerf cutting piece on top of the rectangle to cut it down to that exact length. This was the final result.
