Description
Sheet metal is malleable and strong, making it one of the most useful manufacturing materials today. It's what gives the cars we drive and the appliances we use every day their shape and structure. This poster displays the layout pattern I created for a simple appliance. The pattern is for the creation of a lamp out of sheet metal, and it is optimized to be repeated on a 100 by 100-inch piece of material with minimal waste. Creating the smallest amount of waste possible is important for the best cost efficiency and creating the least negative environmental impact.
