Received this graphic from someone that wants something done for their wedding ,,, Can't quite wrap my head around how to turn this into something that can be cut, any ideas ? The black & white is boggling my mind, might have to turn the whole thing into somewhat of a silhouette. I'd replace all si...

Hey guys, One of the tool paths of my next project is one in which I will be placing the stock on end and drilling vertically. I've set up my cnc to allow me to clamp the piece to the end of the table flush with the table top. I'd like to do a pocket about 5/8" by 4" with a z of 6 inches. I will ne...

Very cool! Looks like a fun and unusual project.

Thank you!

Here's a start on it, at least. A lot of node editing. Could probably still use some more.

First off, very inspiring work! I am trying to wrap my head around how the cuts are accomplished. You mentioned that they were done in 4" thick slices, but my question is, how would you get the detail on the sides? Is 4 sided machining somehow used here along with slices or is there some manual det...

Hey Snow, how would you describe styrospray? Does it build up quick or thick layers? How would you rate it's durability? I'm doing prototypes in discarded MDF, and I'm looking for a quick build up that can be smoothed and look photo-worthy when done, and I don't want to spend more time that I absol...

Awesome stuff. Im curious...does this software/book teach you how to alter or edit an existing 3d obj file. I have a 3d laser scanner (first virsion Next Engine) and I can scan existing 3d objects but alway couldnt fugure out a clean way to cut those objects up to put them on the flatbed cnc. For e...

That is awesome! Well Done! I'd be curious to learn a bit more about your modeling. How long did it take to model? Did you have any experience with Silo before? What did you use to fill your seems? Thanks, and congratulations on an amazing project! The tutorial took me several weeks of fairly dedic...

In the spirit of the season, if anyone else would like to take a journey down the tambour box path, I'll help them along by donating some CRV files and observations. First, you'll definitely want to get the April 2011 issue of Woodworker's Journal since it has a lot of essential information about th...

Seeing your work and seeing the few amount of comments I will only say that we are all speechless. Fabulous work! Michael Thank you, Michael. It is rewarding to read the feedback and I truly appreciate the comments. I have followed so many other projects in the Vectric forums, on CNCZone and elsewh...

The book is 300-some pages. Link to Amazon:

That's incredible. I am seriously impressed. Did you do the modeling in Silo, and was it exportable to Cut3D? Angie Yes, Antony's book is a tutorial that takes you through a comprehensive modeling exercise using Silo 3D. At the end of it you have this figure. Silo exports to OBJ files which Cut3D c...

Ok first of all I'm totally impressed. So how did you get the modle into Aspire? thanks Dan Thanks for the feedback. Didn't use Aspire. Maybe some day when I can afford it. Used Cut3D and imported it as an OBJ. But did a LOT of work in other packages to section, transform and scale the elements tha...

I'm still in therapy from the conclusion of this project (just kidding, but maybe I should be). Since I'm tossing my other projects into the forums this week, I might as well share the most ambitious one I've done - La Femme Rocketeer. Background is that I stumbled upon Antony Ward's book 3D Modelin...
