Summary

This is a simple plan to cut a tangram, a puzzle used to draw shapes.

This is a design made to be personalized (mine is for the 6th birthday of my twins), I made it out of plywood but basically any material should do the trick

How I Designed This

Design

            <div><p>Used the standard shape of tangram, I added a rounded surroundings for frame.<br>Duplicated to do the backplate.</p><p>After first iteration, added a secondary internal frame, so that there is some looseness for the pieces to fit<br>Changed the text and its location a few times</p><p>Designed fully in inkscape, the iterations can be seen in my usual bitbucket repository : <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bitbucket.org/Bruce314/lasercutdesign">https://bitbucket.org/Bruce314/lasercutdesign</a></p><p>More details soon on my blog : <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.revelut.ch">http://www.revelut.ch</a></p></div>
