Model

  • The original model created flat, greatly simplifing construction

orig. flat model
   

  • Model perspective view after flowing to squarish shape
  • unjoined surfaces on the sides and unwanted details inside are not "seen" when milling and can be ignored. Unjoined surfaces which are to be milled do have to be joined before calculating tool paths.
  • This model is then unrolled to prepare for milling using rotary axis
