Here's 60+ hours of work....
This is our first real run of something with our new machine. It took 20 hours for the roughing pass then another 40 for the finishing pass. Mainly due to me not getting the correct tool before I started. (I'm still learning :idea: ) I drew the solid model in VectorWorks, wrote the program using Bobcam and used DeskCNC to run it.
It will be turned into a fiberglass mold.
They're venting louvers if you're wondering WTH it is.

There was a F-up with the finishing pass though. I don't know why BobCam put that step there.

Foam Covered With Glass Fiber
Many things are built using foam covered with glass. All composite air craft are built this way. I have built many pieces this way. It very imortant to use the proper foam and liquid. Though I haven't built parts vacumn bagging the glass to the foam.
