The prototype visor, designed by a team of industrial designers, modelmakers, architects and analysts, is made from three components: a visor made from 0.5mm optically clear PETG, an interlocking soft PP headband, and a surgical silicone rubber head strap that ties the two together. These were all cut on the practice’s digital flatbed cutters by its printroom and modelmaking teams. Each visor can be cut from sheets in under 30 seconds and the elements can be assembled in under a minute.
They are sharing the design templates and material specifications as an open-source design asset. This is to encourage both designers and in particular large-scale manufacturers to investigate the potential of digital and laser cutting machines as an alternative to 3D printing technology.
