Routing a person's head

[denis gadbois]

I have been spending hours to find the best way to use mastercam to create a toolpath for a CNC 5 axis router of surfaces created by Paraform from point cloud data of a person's head(3d scanner). If anybody can share with me some information about this complex problem will be greatly appreciated. So far I still have many roadblocks.

Could you send me the file? I also use Paraform so if you could, send the pff file as well.

Hi

 

I only use M.C.,V9, I will need more infomation on specific(roadblocks).We can solve them as they come up.

Do you have a parasolid, or iges surface file yet?

"routing a person's head"

 

sounds dangerous!

[Lucky]

seriously,

 

I believe I have seen third party software on the Mastercam website that will create surfaces from point cloud data. Zeiss has a very powerful software for this called Dimension. It creates surfaces from data collected on their 3D scanning CMMs. Once you have surfaces you can easily generate toolpaths with Mastercam.

I felt like routing a person's head once. I quit that job.
