Turning your 3d work into a real model

[warnoe uk]

hi

my name is neil from the uk, i use cad at work and stepped into the depths of 3d over the last few years.

As a keen star wars fan, and prop maker i used cad to produce a part for a fiberglass helmet that i have.

The part i replicated was made in the early 80's from model kits..... so after alot of searching the part could'nt be found so i used Autocad 2006 ADT to 3d build the part.

Once the part was made using cad i was able to get my 3d model manufactured in the usa in a working 3d model. This small part is only an 1" wide by 2" high and took over a year of reasearch a few months of designing/replciating.

Below is the final pics of the real part against the part i have replicated. The part is made from pvc and is very strong for its small size

Cool pics. Do you have any renderings of the CAD model?

Here's one of my 3d renders of the part from the Biker Scout Helmet from Star Wars ROTJ
