Well, the worker who put it together hooked the output from the card directly to the stepper motors. When we would power it on, the IC would smoke immediately, but the rest of the circuitry shows fin function (including the 3 LED's on it for fault, function, and clock). Due to our lack of...
My company received a new CNC controller system for our router. It came with a small set of boards (one power, one controller, one interpolator). During intial setup, one of the guys putting it together thought he knew what he was doing and in fact didn't. The IC on the interpolation board...
Well, in my search for a way to unfold this, I had a great deal of success with converting it to a polygon mesh with 3DS Max (import as an IPT then convert to various mesh styles and resolutions). The end result was very geodesic, unfortunately, the end result of what I'm looking for as a...
Haha, I like the plastic idea. We have a thermo-forming vacuum table with the capacity for this... hmmm.
I also considered a massive chunk of veneer and having it milled out with a ball mill =D . Turns out the $50,000 chunk of veneer quality lumber is a problem for my budget.
I'm not...
Yes, the general way to draw the shapes is to draw an ellipse, cut in half along major axis, then revolve around the major axis. The shape is just plain hard to deal with, haha.
As for applying the veneers, they are pressed into a female mold (just purchased a new vacuum pump system to bag...
I have scanned mCAD, but haen't posted there or anything. That's where I found out about the engine change actually.
Here is a picture of the finished product and a screen grab from AutoCad as far as current methods of drafting for the products...

Perhaps I was unclear with my wording.
I have 11 professional. Most of the threads on unfolding have been from previous releases.
I am aware of the engine change from 10 to 11 and have done the registry switch to revert, but then I get an error instead of the model simply turning. It was a...
I recently joined a firm that creates domed ceiling systems as a systems and manufacturing engineer.
One of the projects I have been assigned is to redevelop an existing method for ellipsoidal shaped surfacing. Currently, paper developments are made until the best fit is made by eye. I have...
