AB  - A familiar machine of the maker community is the laser cutter. Unlike 3D printing, most projects made with a laser cutter are flat, or assembled out of flat components. A technique called kerf bending, also called lattice hinging, allows flat pieces of material to be cut and then curved, opening up a much greater range of opportunities. This method combines engineering aspects of mechanics of materials, subtractive manufacturing and design. As well as being very useful, creativity and artistic flare make this technique quite ascetically pleasing. 
One application that could showcase this method is making a display case. For Calgary’s art, science and engineering festival, Beakerhead, some portable displays were needed for the Petri Picasso group, an interactive exhibit for painting with fluorescent bacteria. A case was machined from plexi-glass, but could have been made at a much lower price, been equally functional, and perhaps been even more visually appealing. 
As a demonstration of this maker skill, a model display case will be built, accompanied by the procedure on how to use this method.
For a visual example of the method, please refer to:
