The shape of this milling job was a derivate from a canopy project that was done precedent to the class by one of the students. The main interest with this milling job was to understand the different possibilities there are with milling in MasterCamX. The best solution we ended up using was a contour milling which gave us this very graphic yet architectural overlap of line grids.
Once again, using illustrator and its transformative tools, we created a series of lines that were all derivates of the same original line. That same line was transformed in 3 different ways which created the 3 sets of lines that were milled into the Corian, and gave it its Petal shape.
The point grid for this assignment was created using illustrator and the capabilities of the software to help create a graphically interesting drilling grid.
Here Are a few Screenshots from the processing applet used to create the lines for our groups second mill:
