Urban Grid turns the streets of any city into a laser-cut wall clock. Search for a city, neighborhood or address, frame the map, and watch the street network become an open lattice: the streets and the frame are the material, and every block, park and body of water is cut away. Add a clock movement, numerals and a personal title, then preview the finished piece at true size in augmented reality before it is ever cut. DESIGN • Circle, square, rectangle, oval and hexagon, from 10" to 24" • Maple, aluminum, and red, white or black acrylic • Street detail from main roads to every side street; minimum 3 mm street width for a strong cut • Smart supports bridge any loose piece to the nearest street and verify nothing is missing • Personalize with a title, subtitle and coordinates along the bottom edge, or let the app name it from the map CLOCK • Modelled 1:1 on a standard 12" quartz movement with a clean shaft hole and hub • Numerals on the lattice or on an oversized backing plate — 12·3·6·9 or all twelve PREVIEW IN AR • Place the clock on your wall or table, switch shapes and sizes at true scale, and save a photo or record a video EXPORT • SVG, DXF and STEP in millimeters or inches, lettering as outlines, ready for any laser cutter or CNC DATA • Street and water data from the US Census TIGER dataset for the United States, with OpenStreetMap for parks and places outside the US • New York City is built in; any place you search is saved on your device for offline use Made by AMAXIMAL in Brooklyn.
