    • RE: SU to STL model to Marble Fireplace

      They have their Christmas tree up already?

      Yup, I took the pix last Saturday, the tree is up.

      I'd been looking for an opportunity to try a stereolithography output from an SU model for quite a while, finally had a job where it fit in. The process went very smoothly, and it definitely helped the client to move forward.

      Small, simple model, so it only cost about $200.

    • SU to STL model to Marble Fireplace

      Another marble fireplace. I needed to help the client visualize the fireplace, so I used a ruby script to output an .stl model from SU 7. I uploaded that 1.5 mg model to a service bureau, and a couple days later rec'd the model via Fedex. The model is about 5" wide. (3/4" scale)

      It was very helpful in reassuring the client about the final look and proportions.

      The marble is Italian Carrara Arabescato.

    • RE: Marble Fireplace

      Another one from a few years back; I started modeling it in SU v.2, then mid job upgraded to SU v.3.
      It's a double-wide Tudor, rather unusual. Both fireboxes are wood burning masonry. I finally had the chance to visit the home a couple weeks ago, so I could take these installed photos.

      Here's another. I finished this one 18 months ago, but just had the opportunity to visit the home and take photos.

    • RE: Haiti Earthquake January 2010

      Extremely interesting and unusual person:
      http://bonesquad.com/
      Read his bio and his blog.
      He's a 6'10" (208cm) tall orthopedic trauma surgeon and blues musician who's been working in Haiti, and organizing medical/surgical/orthopedic help for the victims of the earthquake; this is a break from his usual activities treating the forgotten and neglected on Chicago's South and West sides. He's also the son of a friend of mine.
