The art of sheet metal
Laser Process, has produced more than 250 life-sized steel cut outs of celebrities from the world of sport and entertainment as well as historical figures and local heroes. The Connect2 Project was undertaken on behalf of sustainable transport charity, Sustrans, and initiated to decorate cycle and pathways in Ireland and the UK.
The artwork for each figure was supplied to Laser Process by Sustrans. The company’s first job was to check the profile for sharp points and finger traps and then the image was digitised in readiness for cutting from sheets of Corten steel on a TruLaser 4050 with 6kW, one of the company’s five 2D flatbed laser machines from TRUMPF.
