Very cool. Thanks for sharing with us.

Once the model meets the design criteria, the RapidForm file is exported to a CAM package, In our case either MasterCam or Cimatron where toolpaths will be formulated and written into G-Code then downloaded to a CNC Mill.
The part is then cut...Quote Supa Roosta



Oh yeah, I have one of those MasterCam thingies sitting in my garage, and I could have used it to make my tunnel, but I used an electric carving knife instead. Make sure you don't let the resin touch the styrofoam!!


That is very neat Tom. I got your email with these pictures in it, and found it very interesting. Machinery like this has got to be so much fun to play with. Keep the pictures coming as you guys progress on this project.

Hey, It's not the destination that's crucial, it's the journey!
I just forgot to warn you of the speed traps along the route.....

Thanks guys.
I am in a very lucky situation, I get to learn and play.
Not only do we have some nice equipment, I'm lead by one of the Best minds in the field. A true genius, my professor Gary Walters.
Gary leads, I follow
