CNC milling waves! March 12
Rhino tutorial on simulating wave patterns!
I’ve recently been checking out the Grasshopper forums where people have been experimenting with CNC milling fibreboard and plywood with wave forms. For those interested in creating these patterns there is a tutorial by over at Instructables by Brian Ottrogge on how to achieve some similar forms, without needing to fire up Rhino’s Grasshopper plugin.
To follow this tutorial you’ll need:
- Rhino4 (an evaluation copy is available free from McNeel);
- Photoshop or an alternative image editor like GIMP;
- Toolpathing software such as RhinoCAM;
- Mach3.
