Abstract

The goal of this project is to lasercut and assemble all thirteen Catalan solids (polyhedra) with beautifully decorated faces.  The face decorations are also to be cutouts that allow sufficient light to pass through the polyhedron to light a room and potentially making interesting shadows on the wall or table.
