CNC cutting in black latex rubber for artist Birgit Rathsmann. Rubber is NOT fun stuff to machine - In fact, most of the time, rubber is machined abrasively - But we found a tool that works on the CNC router and got surprisingly good results, especially considering the material. As for the graphics - It’s part of the equation used to describe the dual nature of light as a particle and wave. Yep - Us nerds always manage to find each other somehow.
