I've found that it takes a special type of brain power to think in 3D... one of my friends retired from the body design dept at Ford where he worked on the body surface drawings. Most CAD folks now are quite practiced at thinking in 3D.
Mike mad skills Casella can not only think in 3D - he can then machine in 3D to build injection molds.... freakin wicked awesome Mike - and thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Do you use programmable machines or do you do this all by hand?
It's all by hand using the Bridgeport and it sure produces a nice mess of aluminum chips. I use the clean-up time to rest my brain, then go right back to making a mess all over again.
In 28 minutes I'll know if this thing is going to be a success, or not. I guessed on the amount of rubber to put in each side, I sure hope my guess was spot on, I'd hate to do this one twice. :'(
It looks like my guess of 4.3oz per side is a little off. waaaaa. Now that I have to do it over again, I now know it's goung to need about 8oz per side to get it right. "Stuff" happens.
