- 4-sided CNC carving a female torso with a 3D rotary setup for the Shapeoko
By Dennis Van Hoof, from Top o' Arts (topoarts.com).
This video shows the process of carving a 3D female torso out of a weathered branch and rain forest green epoxy resin with the manual rotary setup for the Shapeoko XXL.
Software used:
- Meshmixer to create the 4 sides of the 3D female torso
- Vectric VCarve to generate the tool paths
- UGS Platform to send the Gcode to the CNC
Materials used:
- Floral epoxy resin (from the Epoxy Resin Store)
- Rainforest Green liquid dye (from Pinata)
- Spring Green Mica powder (from PearlEx)
- Surfacing bit to flatten and pocket the stock: WhiteSide #1027A
- Extra long roughing bit: Amana Tool end mill #46590
- Extra long finishing bit: Amana Tool ball nose #46490

Please don’t stop making videos. According to me you are in the top 3 on UA-cam that make fantastic creations with your CNC. You are incredible.
That’s really impressive, it’s very informative the way you explain how to manage the software so that you can get the model made
Your skill level just blows me away. I have had my cnc for 4 years and I could never dream of doing something like that. Awesome work!
Pretty much the most beautiful thing a guy/CNC could ever carve!
Thank you for your flattering words! I do indeed feel privileged. :)
@@dennisvanhoof9958 I ordered a onefinity CNC recently and your videos are showing me what's possible! I really appreciate you sharing your incredible content!
@@hassantinoable Happy to inspire! :)
I don't know why you truly don't have a massive following. You got mad skills my brother!
Thank you! I don't really know either, but please spread the word!
Maybe because my projects are too complicated or maybe it takes too long for the next video to appear? The projects I believe worth posting usually take several weeks or even months to think through, design, execute, improve/correct, finish and then compile the video. I prefer quality and innovation over quantity and doing the same thing as everyone else has already done before. I'm also not very active on other social media platforms (like Facebook and Instagram) to promote my work, so I don't have as much exposure.
Ah well, I don't mind a small but select group of followers to inspire and get awesome feedback, tips and encouragement in return. :)
That is truly a work of art, great job.
You make it look so easy. Simply incredible!
Another wonderful project Dennis
Impressive as ever and a true inspiration to my CNC work even though I have a long way to go!
A real work of art! Amazingly planned and flawlessly executed! Thanks for sharing
Great job! It looks amazing.
Absolutly beautifull work !!
Hi Dennis, another cleverly created artistic creation, thank you for filming, and editing to share 👍😊
Wow! the splicing into the box at the beginning is very ingenious. What a beautiful result. Fantastic work, Dennis!
Thank you for all your kind comments (also on my other videos)!
Absolutly great
I love your videos and your work
You are an Artist
Always impressive
Truly a work of art
Very impressive 👍🏻
Dennis! From one Artist (Painter) to another: Great job! Also, love the penguins walking across the box at 4:30 minutes into the video! Easily missed comical addition.
Really good analytic way, top!
Next level. Thank you!
Amazing.
Great job man. Congratulation.
Best regards from Bosnia and Herzegovina
😀
Awesome dude!
Incredible, thank you for this video
Thank you for watching! :)
Awesome work! Def need a bigger shop!
Great job, and your number of subscribers goes constantly up. Great!
Slowly but steadily. :)
You make really great videos and nice projects which are different from other youtubers and that makes them interesting! For me as german guy you are really good to understand and I hope for future interesting videos.
Thank you for your kind words! As long as I keep getting nice comments like yours, I'll stay motivated to post more videos. I hope that these inspire others to maximize their creativity. :)
Top quality.
The technique of imitating 6 axis cnc is amazing though! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! :)
weeral een mooi staaltje vakmanschap
Bedankt, Staf!
Fantastic channel and excellent videos, keep up the great work!
Thank you for the kind and encouraging words! :)
@@dennisvanhoof9958 I was wondering if you thought about getting the latest iPad or similar device that has a LiDAR Scanner and tried 3D scanning anything? I would think that would greatly improve your workflow :)
Ps- your violins are absolutely beautiful, I hope you can convince someone to play them properly and make a video of it so we can hear the results?
@@bacon_sammich2845 Thank you for all the praise! I honestly don't spend too much time on generating the 3D model. Zephyr works well and is free. The most time consuming part of the 3D model is getting it ready for CNC routing. But even that does not compare to the actual CNC time. So I tend to pick my battles when it comes to saving overall time and the hands-on work, if you know what I mean.
@@dennisvanhoof9958 yes very good point, the cnc does look like it would take a lot of time 😂
Nice!!!!
I've had a small CNC similar to yours for almost 10 years and I've never thought of using it the way you do to create these 3d objects, absolutely amazing. Have you ever considered replacing the belt drive with a ball screw system to avoid the belt and pully clogging?
Thank you for your kind words and the suggestions!
I do not have any intention to modify my CNC with a ball screw system, except for the Z-gantry (which is available as an upgrade called HDZ). I can get the precision and accuracy I need with the current setup, and a bit of cardboard and paper does the job of protecting the belts from clogging up. :)
@@dennisvanhoof9958 it does indeed look like the cardboard does the trick ! Great stuff
@@defyent Only the piece of track where it matters, the rest can pile up. :)
Круть!!!
the perfect woman. cant run away, cant talk back or nag you
;)
👏👏👏👏👍

Every artist does a female torso at least once
Yep. After all it's the most beautiful form out there, and the best we artists can do is make a copy. :)
Tanks for this very good and interesting video.An the beginning offre Thierry video
, you take pictures of thé raw wood part to better position them.
What software do you us to transform a normal picture in a 3D program an thé computer ?
It is possible to upload free this program on internet ?
Did you use thé same program to make mâle bust ?
Thanks for your answer in advance.
Thank you for your kind words! Yes, I used the same process of photogrammetry to make a 3D model of the male torso: Zephyr to construct a 3D image out of 50 photos, and then Meshmixer to compile and refine the model. Take a close look at the male torso video starting here: ua-cam.com/video/9X4PtU4XPMw/v-deo.html
Das een mooie bos hout.
Was het btw niet wat veiliger om het standbeeld op de base te pinnen?
Bedankt voor de complimenten! Dat spul heet niet voor niets "liquid nails" :)
I have a few things I plan on carving using your process but I have a question for you.
If I wanted to carve a topo map on a piece of wood and cut it up into quadrants, would there be seams where the quadrants meet?
Sanding a topo map would be tough.
is it possible or does this work only for smooth surfaces?
Good question! I'm afraid that there will most certainly be seams. It is difficult enough already to seamlessly glue square blocks. Wood will warp as soon as you take a chunk out of it. But even without the warping, you will see the boundaries, just because the grain pattern on one block will not match and smoothly transition into the other.
You're right that sanding a 3D shape with lots of fine details is difficult.
Would it be possible to use natural boundaries in your work to mask the seams? Instead of straight lines, could you for instance follow the ridges of mountains or centers of valleys, like pieces of a puzzle? If so, just keep in mind the sharp corners that should be able to fit the diameter of the bits that you use.
@@dennisvanhoof9958 Thank you for your reply. After re-reading my question I see I did a poor job of asking my question but I think you answered it well, but I do want to try again.
I would like to take a single piece of wood and put it on a jig and machine it from four sides following you have done.
If I wanted to machine a topo map out of a single piece of wood to get a cylinder with a topo map machined onto it, would I see a seam (in four locations) or would it look like it was done on a 4th axis?
Hoi Dennis
Vraagje heb je geen last van temperatuur verschil in de schuur tbv cnc machine
Gr peter
Hoi Peter! Bedoel je dat door de temperatuurverschillen de nauwkeurigheid minder is vanwege het uitetten en krimpen van de metalen CNC constructie? De meeste van mijn werken zijn organische 3D structuren, waarvoor precisie minder belangrijk is. Ook is hout van zichzelf aan onmiddelike vervorming onderhevig zodra je er het stukken van afhaalt omdat de spanning tussen de vezels onderling verandert en het hout krom wil trekken. Verder heb ik nooit de moeite genomen om mijn CNC helemaal precies haaks te maken en ook de rek van de riemen (en daarmee de afstand tussen de tanden) zal niet exact hetzelfde zijn. Ook al zijn mijn projecten relatief groot voor een simpele hobby-CNC, het is allemaal goed genoeg om niets van de onnauwkeurigheid te merken als ik 2-zijdig CNC werk doe met dowel holes; als het allemaal heel slecht zou zijn afgesteld, dan zou je dat meteen werken omdat de dowels niet op hun plaats vallen bij het omdraaien van het materiaal. Het valt dus allemaal wel mee. :)
Oke bedankt
Diude .yu bad ass.nobody does work close to yours
had the same CNC but much lower level work.
Greetings, how much can a machine like this cost...
You can find prices and models on their website: carbide3d.com/shapeoko/
you just Monster, how you know it all? where you learning ?
could this not have been done 2 passes- back and front?
Good questions, but no. The piece would be too thick to fit under the Z-gantry, and also the bit would not be able to reach any overhanging sites. The bits aren't long enough either to go that deep, without the router bumping into the stock material. See my video where I explain these challenges when carving a Koi fish: ua-cam.com/video/-reSew5u5Oc/v-deo.html
@@dennisvanhoof9958 didn't think of that last point. Great stuff anyway
Just the good parts, eh
Amana is pronounced Ah-man -ah
those are fake
*stop torturing yourself with the worse diy cnc machine = shapeoko.* get a proper machine. you just lose your life. a shapeoko XXL ex-owner.
Darn the bust is not pretty. Unless of course matching renaissance style depiction was the goal
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :)
