Making a buck from 3d file
Hi,
I have a 3d cad (3ds or dxf format) drawing which I want to produce a mould from to make body panels. I have purchased the drawing from a 3d artist, so I have no knowledge of 3d cad, but i am willing to learn.
Does anyone know how to produce cross section slices from 3d files. I then intend to print these sections out and cut modeling foam sections, glue together and shape. This appears to be a standard method for producing bucks to pull a mould from.
I want to practice doing this first buy scaling down and building a soap box version for the kids.
Any help or pointers would be appreciative.
Cheers
J
