i have a few on there that i have uploaded over the years. currently, i have the entire human body on file - tissues, nervous system, complete skeletal, etc.... some of these i can not give away, but if you need something else, hit me up.

 

fo the most part, these files were scanned with a minolta and then cleaned up in SW.

Trevor,

You have mail

[Tyler Robertson]

That's awesome - I cut part of the skull with our little motoman robot - have to clean up a couple areas but not looking bad

 

[westernmunga]

wow! is it possible for you to email me the file? Looks great!!!

[Tyler Robertson]

Westernmung - It's up on the ftp site here under Mastercam9 files!

 

ftp://mastercam:[email protected]_forum

[westernmunga]

Tyler thank you so much!! I guess there are a lot of great files there

[Moldmaker74]

It's a fun file, everyone needs a metalic skull in the shop. We did it in aluminum one day when we were slow and people seem to get a kick out of it on shop tours.

 

I am thinking of making a skull shifter knob on a C-axis lathe for my project car next.

 

[Tyler Robertson]

nice! yeah do it.

 

I'm going to see about turning this into a guitar headstock, or making a mold for knobs on amps/guitars.

 

my next step will be to machine the whole head, front and back in one setup from one block

Tyler,

 

What material are you using?

 

John

[Tyler Robertson]

Renshape board - got our stock from a mastercam customer so I'm not sure where they got it from

 

but it's this stuff: http://www.cmtmaterials.com/renshape.htm

 

cuts nice/easily - about the same feel as wood but no real grain direction. Polyurethane.

[Trevor Bailey]

here are a few skulls that i have. the one with 4 viewports i can not share, sorry.

 

i have made a couple of these on 4ax haas machines. the one real human skull, i will be making it out of a big block of mahagony very soon.

 

here is the full model like the one that tyler made:

 

this one is a real human skull:

 

this one is a STL model that i bought and machined in wood:

Trevor:

 

i like your background color, where did you get it from?

[Trevor Bailey]

use the gradient background settings and select the desired colors you want.

[Hardmill]

I found a 3dS (or something like that format) file from some website and converted it to an STL.

 

Using Mastercam, I then added points and made a smooth coons out of the top portion.

 

Notice how the bottom jaw is still fauceted like the the original STL.

 

That file was cool... it has all the teeth and everything.

 

I still have it stuck away I need to go look at it and see if I finished refining it or not...

 

At one time I had some vampire fang incisor teeth added and was going to machine that but never got around to it.

[Trevor Bailey]

i had smoothed out the jaw of murlins model, but lost the file a while back when my HD took a crap on me. just have not had the time to redo the work.

[Müřlıń®]

Hey trev I think I still have it packed away, I will look see when I get a chance and put it on the FTP.

[Tyler Robertson]

Just as an update to this thread:

Awesome video Tyler,

Can't say the same for the music...

[Tyler Robertson]

haha I'll record some tracks myself..

[Greg_J]

Nice.

 

Thanks for sharing.

[CNC PRO]

Real nice Tyler

I was at in house for X4 rollout on the 9th and got to inspect the skull first hand, I gotta say though I think I could produce a nicer finish on a 3axis

j/k

I downloaded the model and if I have time in the near future I'm going to machine it out of MDF, then paint it in chrome...not quite as nice as Moldmaker's but should look decent...I hope
