Machining large landscape topographies
One of the projects I end up drawing towards the most is the fabrication of model landscapes. This is true both in my own design life as well as when I teach groups of students how to use CNC routers - there's just something satisfying about creating a landscape.
This is the general process I followed to create these topographis. First, I either randomly generated a topography using Blender or I downloaded an existing topography. Next, I used Rhino to trim away only the portion of the topography I want and to scale it down to size. Finally, I used Fusion 360 to create the toolpaths.
