For this project we were tasked with making the tallest tower possible out of a 12x24 in. piece of MDF. We first had to make the model in illustrator then running it through Aspire. Our plan was to use as much of the board as possible. Therefore,we started to carve out the inside of the pieces to add more height. By alternating the size of the pieces it allow for the weight to be more concentrated at the bottom and becomes lighter as the tower got higher. We then ran our designs through the CNC mill which cuts out the shapes for it. The pieces fit together perfectly, however we didn't account for the flexibility of the Masonite as the tower rises. We had to improvise by using some of the pieces to create a more stable base. Our tower reached 109 inches by the end of this project.
