PROCESS

The development process of the icosahedron began with digital modeling in Rhino. The proportions and edge lengths had to be defined precisely in order to create clean geometry. The three-dimensional shape was then unfolded into a two-dimensional net. This layout served as the template for laser-cutting on paper. After cutting, the individual faces were carefully folded and connected along the edges. Through precise work and multiple test runs, a stable three-dimensional form was created.

FINAL IKOSAHEDRON

CONCLUSION

This project helped me understand how digital design and physical building can work together. I used simple materials like paper and digital tools like Rhino and the laser cutter to turn a 3D shape into a real object. The repeating pattern made the shape more interesting and created nice effects with light and shadow. The process needed careful work, testing, and some patience, but it was also fun and creative. I would have liked to continue working on the icosahedron and try out more patterns and different materials. In the end, I learned a lot about shapes, structure, and how digital and hands-on methods can be used to create exciting designs.
