Information

      The Flower of Life is a sacred geometric symbol made up of identical circles that overlap harmoniously to form a symmetrical pattern reminiscent of a flower. It is found in different cultures and ancient traditions.

Why?
According to symbolic and spiritual approaches, it would represent harmony, the interconnection of all life, balance and the creation of the universe through fundamental geometric shapes.

From a historical and cultural point of view, it is above all a decorative and philosophical symbol to which different traditions have attributed meanings, rather than an object whose particular properties would be scientifically demonstrated.

Instruction

Step1

Customizable laser cutting:
The standard diameter is 14.5 cm, but this creation is fully adaptable to the dimensions of your choice: smaller, larger, according to your needs.

Cutting tip:
Cutting MDF generates a lot of smoke, so it is essential to have a very efficient suction. For my part, I use a suction set to the maximum with direct evacuation to the outside.

Finally:

A 120 grit sanding, to erase all traces of burns and resins, the cutting of the MDF tends to leave a sticky and resinous deposit on the cutting surface.
