A joint effort...
-
This piece was a collabrative project with Robert Grzesek. Robert is the author
of MeshCAM, a very nice program for generating g-code milling strategies from
3D models and bitmaps. (highly recomended!)
-
I had been testing his version 2 Beta software for about 6 months when he
emailed
...As luck would have it, I'm in need of a goldsmith. We have a new 15
week old baby and wanted to make a unique gift for the grandmothers and
aunts for xmas. We scanned a clay imprint of his hand to make a
necklace. I've got the Rhino part done and I've milled a test version
in wax and it turned out really well. I need to find someone who can
cast them in gold...
-
He did all of the real work, the bail shown in blue on the model is my only
contribution to the modeling work.
-
I milled the two parts separately in wax, with the bail rotated 90°, and
assembled the wax pieces before casting. Cast pendants cleaned up, polished
and given a satin finish.
