The input geometric model
This shape was modeled using trimmed nurbs in
Rhino3D.
The Rhino3D model bone.3dm was saved
as polygonal mesh bone.obj.
Lamina can read input files in .stl, Wavefront .obj
or 3D Sudio Max .3ds formats. It can also read polygon meshes
in Rhino .3dm files.
Generating the parts
Lamina 1.0 software automatically subdivides the polygon mesh into sections and
each section is approximated by a 2D part.
Lamina generates cutting paths in
DXF format bone.dxf
and a
PDF file
with assembly instructions.
        
        
 
Building the sculpture
A nearby metal fabrication house,
Latitude Corporation
built the
sculpture. The DXF file was used to cut stainless steel parts on a
abrasive waterjet cutter.
A group of welders built the sculpture in 3 hours.
        
      
The finished sculpture
After grinding and sanding the welds, this is the final result.
