[University/Department of Architecture/Case Study] Utilizing Laser Technology in the Production of Architectural Models

Students use for 'making parts for architectural model production'! Case study of laser processing machine introduction.

In April 2022, Otemon Gakuin University established a new major in the Faculty of Literature called "Aesthetics and Architectural Culture," utilizing the Trotec laser cutting machine "Speedy 400" for the production of architectural models. Laser cutting is primarily used for model materials such as wood and paper, and a key advantage is the ability to cut multiple small accessories (miniature-sized people, plants, furniture, etc. that accompany the model) at once. Additionally, the laser software "Ruby" is standardly equipped, allowing for direct import of graphic data, which enables speedy processing of parts. By simply converting hand-drawn images to PDF and importing them, laser processing can be easily done, resulting in immediate shapes. Compared to graphic software like Illustrator, costs can be kept low, leading to cost savings, as we have received feedback. 【Deciding Factors for Introduction】 ■ Ability to cut multiple small accessories at once ■ High performance of the dust collection and deodorization system, allowing safe use in front of students ■ Capability to laser cut precisely along hand-drawn lines *You can download the PDF or click on related links below for more details.
