This video walks through the entire process of making over-engineered aluminum isogrid drink coasters, from CAD design through laser cutting with SendCutSend and CNC machining on a desktop router. The creator details the toolpath strategy for cutting the isogrid pattern, iterating on feeds and speeds to achieve clean results in aluminum. The finished coasters showcase the distinctive aerospace-inspired triangular lattice pattern that makes isogrid structures both lightweight and visually striking.
