The Cross :)

The brief was to make an ornate cross, 90mm high by 65mm wide with scrolly work in it..

I drew the base with Rhino to get us as far as a weight estimate then filled it in with tsplines for the curly wurly stuff :)

The Tsplines base geometry


A close up of the geometry layout


and the render.


Deskproto(64bit) made childs play of the 116mb mesh file...


then off to the mill.. roughing.. big ol block of wax :)


and after the rough out on three sides the final pass with a fine cutter


and finally the first cut is done, the two short arms..





here is a quick clip to keep you interested untill the next post :)

Hey all, VERY long time no see.. just slapped a 5th axis onto my mill so I think you might see me around somewhat for a bit.. softlimits are suddenly a very interesting topic to me!

How to stop stuff slamming into other stuff!!
