- - - Project origin - - -

A few month ago I had the opportunity to use a laser cutting machine for a few weeks. I wanted to create something original, complex and artistic. So I imagined this bird. After hours and hours of drawing, test, machining I finally obtained this mechanical bird with around 600 laser cutted parts animated with one electrical motor.

The first prototype

This first prototype is not bad but I was not totally satisfied. I always wanted make another one bird improved, more beautiful et more reliable.

- - - Revive the project - - -

Revive the project is in my head since a few days but manufacturing this one requiere a laser cutting machine, lot of materials et hardwares that I don't have. So I try to get financial help to rent tools in a fab-lab and buy materials.

I don't want to sell this bird, but I'd like to expose it.

After make this bird, I'd like to develop others mechanical concepts I have. Also it could be interesting to develop kits to assemble and sell it like big puzzle for adults.
