I am looking to either take 3d laser scans of objects I find, and replicate them at a bigger scale (ie. 20th scale car to 10th scale). I also need to duplicate items, like busts and etc for my halloween haunt. Lastly I belong to 405th forum which makes replicas of video-game armor, and I am looking to machine weapons (solid foam) off of the 3d files I am provided with.
So I need the ability to do something with multiple sides, as well as in layers as I believe my cnc will only have a 4-5" z axis. Any ideas? Would it be easier to just section the 3d model myself then dish out all the cash for a program to do so, or would it be worth the expense?
What all do I need to get? Im sorry, Im new to this... I can build animatronic skulls, facades, and automate lighting, but this is a whole new world I'm stepping into.
Thanks, Mike |
