;D :D ;D

As a fitter machinist, I am so impressed. I just love the usability of any well thought out tool, or machine. That was heaps better than watching the sound of music ::). If I owned it? It would going straight past the pool room, and into the Master Bedroom ;D.

I see a MASSIVE amount of custom programming. Must have taken MANY months to develop. Impressive final result, but my gawd.. a huge amount of work.

All the other blocks are cast then CNC,d but that one is machined from a solid block of ally.
Even got SAINTY signature across the front.
CNC,d of course.
Stunning amount of programming. :)
Pretty to look at .
From a fitter and turners point of view that is ;D
ART in Alloy

Not so Luke, just digitaly 3D scan a helmet import that into something like Mastercam and it's pretty much done. There would be literaly 2 million, if not more, lines of G Code (CNC language like DOS for computers) to do that.Checking that is a job for another program, ;D

Yes but Lawrence, he states they did NOT do a 3D scan! ergo a few zillion lines of code. Insane.
