CraftROBO


The model workshop at my university has a laser cutter, so until now, I thought that this was the only way to cut an intricate pattern into paper without having it to do yourself with scissors or a knife.
But laser cutters are very expensive for private persons - and if you really just want to cut paper, they are far too advanced, since they can also cut perspex, wood, metal... anything, really.
I have not tried it, but this craftRobo-thing seems cool, it works like a printer with a blade I think. The cheapest one (cuts A4-Size) costs around 300 Euro, larger ones up to 3000.

Paper artist Jeffrey Rutzky from NYC has a nice flickr-Stream on his craftROBO-Kirigami work.
