Hi

The shark looks great.

Once I saw A file of A face at a tool show in reno and I would like a copy ,if anyone else has seen it.

[markd]

Hi Scott,

I have a great face surface model you can have (originally the Robert White/Fastsurf demo face) Email me if you can handle a 2mb MC8 attachment. I can't seem to upload it to the FTP page for whatever reason...

I have machined it in timber with a scaled z value with great results.

[Scott Bond]

Thanks markd

Jay has already sent the face.

Thanks for the responce.

Dudes,

Rhino is the coolest 3-d nurbs based modeler for making free-form anthropomophic shapes like that shark or faces. I'm using it to drive my faro arm and reverse engineer feet and then cut out orthotics on a 5-axis thermwood for Seattle Orthopdic Group. Way more fun than aerospace stuff.

[cadcam]

Marked can you email that file.

i would like to see yours.

thanks

[cadcam]

Well marks got a cool face MC8 file.

it sticks a little bringing into mastercam 8.1.1.

so i tried another & it came right in.

so i made a Print screen of a few veiws.

Singal surface face

there is a copy of the file on the FTP under "face.Zip"

 

Link to Cadcam's FTP

I figuerd out why it lags in 8.1.1 mastercam.

If you are in metric it will come right in.

the file is in metric.

[Bob]

Anybody have that as an MC7 file

[Mark H]

I just converted it to V7, and put it up on Cadcam's ftp site. Its called Shark-v7.zip

[Bob]

Thanks Mark.

[cadcam]

wouldnt be nice if mastercam new that the file you are bring in was a Metric file and switch to that auto for you?

And so on the other way.

[ProductDevelopmentGuy]

The recognition of English vs. Metric parts is (some people would say "finally") being addressed in V9. It'll do just that - switch your Config settings automatically when detecting a change in Units.

PDG i was stating this to see what people think about this new thought that does work great buy the way.

will be sending in my report soon.

thanks for a great product.

The shark turned out really neat - I reduced it to about 4-1/2 inches overall and machined it out of 2-inch brass rod. VERY COOL. The original is VERY large - I make it out to be about 21-inches overall. The only problem that I had with the shark was two small patches of missing surface under the right fin (flipper, arm, horizontal stabilizer?) and the surface behind the left eye. A simple select of the surface on the other side and a Transform, Mirror fixed it. My daughter immediately claimed it for her own Now I have to go make another for myself.
