CNC machining The human face

[@joeargyle]

You can do this with almost any CNC. All you need is the model and software to output the tool path. Seemed like this tool path could have been more efficient to me but it was a good choice for showing the evolution of the project.

[@dirtdoctor26]

Cool, but next time attach your camera to a tripod instead of the router. The jitteriness of the video is enough to drive you crazy!

[@TheBreaded]

He didn't. The bed of the machine moves. The camera is stationary, the router moves on the X and Z axis and the bed moves on the Y axis. If anything they could have mounted the camera to the bed and it wouldn't have been as jittery.

[@tomharrell1954]

Great Job. Would love to know more about the software. Sorry so many people don't realize how 3D cnc works and are giving you a hard time.

[@bickleg465]

+Thomas Harrell i just found *TopFineWoodworking .Com* and the plans on there are so amazingly laid out and well thought i don’t know what I would do without them now..............

[@tomharrell1954]

+bickleg465 Oh wow thanks :)

[@ariaH.kanzaki]

increíble, cuanto duro todo el trabajo en tiempo de maquina?

[@theredmaster_superbee]

Who was the genius who came up with the bright idea of placing the camera above the moving car? (sarcasm)

[@marbleshark6]

2000X ?? So it took 3 solid WEEKS 24 hours a day non-stop to make this face?? LOL I could have done it by hand in less than 1/5th of that time...

[@skyduster3815]

Must be an error, I can make this on my machine in about 8-10 hours

I agree with Michael as well how did u import your facial features?

[@bbwalter1]

Looks great!! This is something that I would like to do!! What CNC machine did you use? What software? How did you process your image so the CNC machine could carve it? How many different bits were used? Regards, Barry Walter

[@callier6816]

Good video put fuck me the camera movement started making me feel sick at the end what on earth possessed you to put the camera on a moving part

[@flickwtchr]

Callier The bed is moving as well as the router bit. The camera was not attached to the machine.

[@briansmobile1]

flickwtchr So in this case I think Callier would prefer to view a video of this type with the camera mounted to the bed or carrier to reduce overall movement down to one plane. Doing this would negate from the experience, but a second wider angle shot would recapture that. Maybe just make it a short duration early on in the storyline.

[@billmitchell1860]

yes it was very twitchy

[@mustafa1977mustafa]

Why you attached the camera to machine???

[@10Greylock]

Now that's a trophy worthy of your mantle. Creepy, but worthy.

[@baccus61]

NEO Node Master 4223. It's on the machine face. You can go to AutoCad website and download their free 3D scanning software that does a pretty good job with a simple digital camera. You can use Z-Brush, $900, to add small details if you wish. It's a great program and save your files to STL. Delft Splines "Desk Proto" can do multi axis machining at $1800. Rhino can also edit STL files and is also a great program. Go to cnczone.com and study what is there for your needs.

[@osamaabdelazim1523]

Kindly tell me who is the best for a large cnc router (belt or chain drive machine )

[@baccus61]

+Osama Abdelazim Hello Osama, I have tried a few different ways of driving large machinery and the best way for a big build is helical rack and pinion drive. It handles the weight better than any other type of drive. Straight cut rack is fine but if you can afford it helical is better. belts stretch too much, even 5 thousands is way too much and chain also has a bit of stretch in it. if you are pushing a heavy gantry along at 5 meters per minute then want to do a 90 deg turn then you need the least amount of stretch or rebound and rack is the best for that.

[@osamaabdelazim1523]

I'd like to thank you on your concern but kindly feed me back if I can fix the chain by welding it on the Gantry like the rack and pinion to avoid chain stretch

[@baccus61]

+Osama Abdelazim That would be ok as well but you need to leave enough room under the chain so the sprocket can go all the way through. I would probably weld every ten links or so and stretch the chain out before welding. I hope it works for you. If you are only going to rout at a slow speed then I wouldn't worry too much about welding the chain but make sure you use sprocket bigger than 18 teeth to get away from the cogging effect of small sprockets.

[@MrMarkstrom1]

I like this! How much should I pay? Best Regads Ulf Markstrom

[@shubhammggupta]

How much this machine's cost..?? I wanna to buy it..

[@jeroensimons1]

Awesome, no c axis required?

[@mrpharill]

Wow...I mean...how does the wood stay in place? Pretty neat. :)

[@rickgraham8701]

2 months, no answer. :) It will be bolted to the table. See those lines in the table? You can slide a nut into the groove below the slot and thread a bolt into it to hold the work. Other methods are vacuum tables, which that is not, and powerful electro magnetic blocks for ferrous materials. Certainly those methods are convenient but much less reliable. Also for metal parts, often a vise will be mounted on the table and the work held in the vise. I have two CNC machines.

[@mrpharill]

Hey thanks for taking the time to give "your" knowledge. I appreciate that. I was clueless lol

Hello GM what is the name of the cnc machine that you used in the video

[@gersonvega5465]

Congrats very nice, i have a question for you, what program did you use for modeling and posting the 3d image to g-code?

[@duubtuub7363]

Hi, Steven, How did you make the master of your face? If you can't tell us, I understand, but then please upload the CNC file for us to copy so we can change our faces and have a model of our faces too. Thank you for your consideration.

[@12mast21]

its take how much time for grave this ??

[@axelkakasho]

It was so pleasant to see, al least the first 8 minutes.

[@zehzahl5988]

Next time, please get a tripod for your camera. Cameras need to remain STILL. Cool CNC work, though!

[@elftablet7283]

The camera is still, the table is moving.

[@zehzahl5988]

Elf Tablet Ha, you're right! I had to watch it again to see that. Both the table and the CNC drill are in motion, not the camera. I'm not sure why it appeared differently to me at first.

[@elftablet7283]

Hi, i'm looking to have the shell for a video game controller replicated in titanium or stainless steel. Because i have very bad allergies to plastics and therefore have been unable to do my favorite hobby. Never seen one made out of metal but it must be possible. Some type of wood could potentially be okay as well. Anyway, hope someone can help. Thanks for reading

[@greyhunter147]

[@Chaogardenx]

[@tehnodrev]

That'S Perfect. What is the real-time processing?

[@NoName-uh3lp]

Cool work but you need to slow the video down from time to time so we can see exactly what's going on. This just makes people motion sick!

[@OminousPinapple]

Should have kept the camera still.

[@jsweizston5410]

Yes I was just thinking a fixed camera angle would've been a lot easier to watch. Tracking back and forth makes me dizzy.

[@jasonmccabe5915]

[@TheNarcolepticWhale]

+Jason McCabe (Camulas) If you have good credit some companys will allow you to lease it for a dollar amount each month instead of paying the thousands of dollars to buy one.

[@jasonmccabe5915]

They are absolutely fantastic. I would love to see one in person and try it out. I have been woodworking for years and while I do see the value of doing it all by hand (Like I have done) I think the CNC machines are just great.

[@munnimann]

You can build quite qualitative CNC machines yourself for all kinds of purposes even under 1000$. Instructables has many many building plans. For example this one: www.instructables.com/id/CNC-Laser-Cutter-Journey/?ALLSTEPS You'll need to learn some things about electronics and some programming, but it is possible. With strong enough motors and a quality milling machine you will probably be able to cut out faces like in this video as well.

[@moosehandler9]

What material is this?

[@pypes84]

Id guess it's "Renshape" or something similar (generic name is polyurethane tooling board) It machines real nice, and you can plough through it at a million mph. The machining strategy here is "interesting" to say the least, I'd have just hogged 90% of it out with Z-level roughing and finished with a nice conical cutter and small stopover.

[@mikerolli9469]

what speed is this at?

[@iioven4849]

2000x

[@iioven4849]

***** just over 1999

[@PrinceWesterburg]

2,000x speed? You mean this 16min video actually took 22.2 days? Time to upgrade that 286 processor mate!

[@deitydan]

I don't see where it says 2000x speed, but if it thats true then, er, yeah.... It must have been moving almost imperceptibly in real life. "Hey, boss! You know that $50k CNC machine we invested last year's profit in, the huge thing that is big enough to carve out a car with mm accuracy? Do you mind if I tie it up for the best part of a month doing an okayish copy of my face that we could have done with a $500 X-carve hobbiest machine (and probably better), or hired a carpenter for 3 hours to do by hand?" "Yes, that sounds like a great use of the incredible investment in a machine whose space-use alone costs 6k a year in warehouse rental and 1k per month in electricity - go for it!"

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Its right at the begining under the heading. Thats said, I grew up taking things apart with my dad's little red handled screwdriver that had '5000V' moulded into the handle. It was a good lesson as he told me it was a part number and that some guy in the 60s got killed thinking it was the electrical insulation capacity. Just re-read your comment - Ace! You're a guy whos been out in the real world too!!! :D

[@pipspiper]

2,000 speed means the spindle rpm which means spindle rotation of 2,000 revolution per minute, not the video speed. If the video was filmed 2000 times faster, you couldn't see whats happening.

[@kwindzy]

this is a terrible blurry and shaky video, you should've made the camera still relative to the piece being worked on

[@MichaelDavidHiltner]

Make another video without the camera on the moving platform! So dam stupid to do so. If this was just a fixed camera on a tripod, I would have watched the whole video over a few times. But since this was foolishly thought out, I ended up with a migraine headache, so I just kept fast forwarding to the end of the video!!! OMG. Thanks for the swore eyes.

[@DGundelach]

Awe that's cute. You don't know what's going on here. The camera is on a tripod. Well presumably. At least it is standing still. What you want is that he puts the camera on the moving platform so motion is reduced to the tool
