I did see a project some Shopbot guys did, they scanned ones side of a 3D object, then mounted a 'base' and milled the inverse of the object into the base, so they could place the object back into the milled out 'base' and digitize the back of it.
Then they took a block of wood and milled the 'front' of the object, put it back into the base made in the previous step and then they could mill the back of the object. This way they got a 'solid 3D object' milled 'all the way around'. If that didn't make sense, either email me directly or forget it, it might not be worth the effort except for an intellectual exercise. I would think you could use a similar technique to mill the side to give access for undercuts as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
