We began with an electronic model
called a "point cloud"
The point cloud, a 3 dimensional set of data points can be created by manually digitizing an object or by laser scanning an object. |
The point cloud is converted into a polygonal model The polygonal model is made by connecting the point cloud data into a series of polygons
|
The polygonal model was manipulated to give the penguin the appearance of motion. |
|
|
|
| The model was then modified to accommodate manufacturing techniques and optimize strength. | The polygonal model was converted into a solid model to generate CNC programming language. | The complete penguin was machined on state of the art CNC machinery. |
|
|
|
| The machined penguin was prepared to create the mold. | A completed mold prepared for fiberglass. | Fiberglass is sprayed into the mold. |
