Laser Cut Joint Patterns
The purpose of this git repository is to share and keep track of various patterns for laser cutting. I started it just to help keep these patterns straight for myself as I find myself looking through old files to find the best version of various patterns that I use over and over again. I'll update it with patterns as I use them.
The patterns are .svg and Illustrator .ai files, and are meant to be copied and pasted into designs as needed.
They include:
- Joints for connecting materials together with pressure fitting, bolts, etc.
- Patterns for flexible "living hinges"
- Patterns for simple mechanisms such as pivot points
- Patterns for more complex mechanisms such as a gumball hopper
All are welcome and encouraged to contribute!
