Javascript laser cut lamp shades

A laser cutter and a few lines of Javascript turned flat plywood into these two lamp shades.

I used Javascript to generate the vectors because I was already familiar with d3.js, and jsfiddle.net proved as a nice simple interactive IDE for the project. Before I knew it, I had vectors to "print".
