Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, where I did my masters in Architecture, has put on their blog some interesting images of what you can do with a laser cutter which (as far as I remember) has a bed size of 4 by 2 meters. They have only worked on on the forms which you can see underneath for few days – during one of the WAW workshops they conduct every few month.

The object I’m working on right now is only going to be 1 x 1 meter big, but a genetic algorithm procedure of optimization for cost on a laser cutter is applicable of to any scale of course. This is why I got interested in this work.
