The software used to design and modify the acrylic case were:

From my end mostly LibreCAD and FreeCAD, from hers she added the various bits of intricate graphic detail in vectornator for iPad. the patterns are laser engravings, from the plate upwards to the very top each layer has different engravings that go together to make a kind of paralax falling petals effect – obosob.

The underside and wrist rest have some rose gold mirror acrylic inside a clear acrylic of the negative space, all sandwiched between a layer of clear acrylic on either side.
