Playing around with the new Rhino PBR materials on this Robot model.

Speaking of Robots, swing by Chidrawgo and back the Kickstarter for their I Like Robots book!

Chicago area Design People: does anyone need an Inventables Carvey CNC machine? I have one I need to get out of my shop. Includes box of bits & 3d printed clamps, tool set, and brand new spoil board, still in bubble wrap.

Would be happy to donate to school or nonprofit. Will consider trade for tools or 3 Floyd's Zombie Dust. Also cash, don't worry about offending me. I just want to find it a home where it will be used, not looking to give it to someone who wants to flip it for profit.

It works fine, but Carvey no longer brings me Joy.

You'd need to pick up from Glenview, IL. I will help load it, Carvey is small but damn heavy.

I will also throw in some free materials sized for the bed

Bad habits die hard. Lots of sketches done whole watching the awesome presentations at the Getting it Made Deep Dive.

We recently upgraded to the Rhino 7 release and are loving the new tools. This creature was mostly modeled using the all-new SubD tools, plus a few old-school NURBS blends. The image was done 100% in Rhino using their new Cycles render engine, a massive improvement from previous releases.

Here is a rendering of the CAD model we created for the Radio Flyer My First Model Y that I posted about a few weeks ago - what a fun project!

After the initial concept sketch phase, we worked with the actual Model Y 3D CAD data provided by Tesla, massaging and re-proportioning it to hit the critical functional & ergonomic dimensions. We then rebuilt sections of the vehicle for manufacturability and created several new parts to enhance the design and functionality. Working closely with the team at Radio Flyer, we continued to refine the CAD model throughout the product development process and into production.

The result is as beautiful and high quality a product as you would expect from these two esteemed brands. We feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work on it and hope for more collaborations like this in the future!

Found these little guys in a stack of stuff today, had to share 'em.
