Big carving

That is one impressive piece of art!

I'll bet the customer is going to be REALLY pleased with the results!

I am just SO GLAD your Shopbot didn't have a typical brain-fart (comm error) in the middle of the carving.

Assistant and I stared to everything nearby :( DURING the long runtime

Thanks for your kind comments, are really appreciated
Joe, my team (3 person) and I modelled the 3d file in cinema4D and generated toolpaths in partworks 3d, biggest drawback of using alder was we had to use 3/8" hex screws with big washers to hold down the heavily bent panels (2" at edges of last panel) as during the runtime our weather went from 40F to 85F

Don, the machine DID have a few hiccups during the runtime, but we finally mastered the File GoTo commmand and kept going fine. Now i know what those little proximity switches are for.

We would not have attempted this kind of work if I had not seen first the inspiring and amazing breadth of work in this forum, Thank you guys.

Horacio,

I think Cimema 4D is an extremely difficult to master! What other uses do you use it for?

Long runs on these machine often have hickups. Glad to see you managed it.

Keep up the good work.

We operate as an industrial design office and Cinema is used here in 3d sketching and some animation, compared with other software this is fairly intuitive once you get the hang of 2d modeling.

Had to wait until everything was finished and backlight installed as needed,
going up had a scare as this was raised 10 ft on 6 padded sticks! and someone nicked the finish.


It's up in place, right for moms day
What a gift!

WOW! That is beautiful.

NOW WE ARE TALKING CNC!!!

Great job Haracio, and thank you for posting.

Congratulations Horacio. That is just beautiful
