The real value of art is in the design. Craftsmanship by hand is impressive and the skill shown by the masters is truly awe-inspiring. But not everyone has the hand or eye of a master craftsman/sculptor, and not everyone is keen to spend their lives banging on rocks with chisels. Tech like this makes the creative process more available to more people, and the time saving means that the people who do use it can make more. The value in creativity is what it communicates, the tools are secondary. People that want to go around crying about the death of craftsmanship can honestly shove it. The more people who can get creative ideas into the world, the better. History will leave everyone else behind.

This is amazing. In roughly a days worth of work you recreated something that would have taken forever to carve. I love to know how things were done originally. I'm big into cheese making and home brewing. I might have made a good Amish guy if it were not for my love of tech and alcohol. But If I had one of these gadgets in my garage, I'd never come out again.

from 4 years to a few hours. We have come a long way.

his skill is amazing but it is never a reproduction machine or technology will be equal to the beauty of a craft called art

You are both right! 1. The CAM system (a piece of software on a PC) has a heavy job calculating the tool path. Millions of calculations are made: Tool path position, Collision check, Data reduction, Virtual Milling and Rest Milling and finally Post processing. 2. The CAM produces a G-code to drive the CNC machine. There is no really intelligence in a CNC machine, it's like a printer. G-code is a standard machine "language" Greetings (the guy behind the software) Claus Dybdal

Hello everyone. I have read so many comments on this...some are really strange...really. You need to understand what this machine and the scanner are designed for. This is a really fantastic 5 axis CNC machines designed to work natural stone. The scanner is used to digitize an object any object of almost any size.

its nice sculpture ordinary and accurate, but is not overly detailed and finished and that is what make sculpture art piece and that is the only hand of the true artist can achieve only a man of blood and flesh

Inverse(Reverse) kinematics refers to the use of the kinematics equations of a robot to determine the joint parameters that provide a desired position of the end-effector. Specification of the movement of a robot so that its end-effector achieves a desired task is known as motion planning. Inverse kinematics transforms the motion plan into joint actuator trajectories for the robot. this machine is a non Cartesian machine and moves according to these calculations.

Very nice work in CAD&CAM. And nice machine too!

8 real artists

Behhhh muanteb tenan kui.... Piro regane.... Jos gandos........

No, that was a genius artist at work.

Amazing how very little technology have evolved in this field since 7 years ago

All the process of milling was Marvellous but about the scanning you could use laser lines or white light scanning and do the scanning with very high density of point cloud in few minutes, I tried it and it works very well, but about your milling this machine should worth a fortune using a heavy robotic arm needs to use reverse Kinematics to calculates the points and it forces your processing system to handle tons of calculations each millisecond and handling such a heavy arm is an art, thanks

Agreed on the art part, but not everyone has the time or ability to do that. Surely you must see some beauty in the process? Couldn't it be said that the ability to get a computer and a bunch of machinery to recreate such things would be an art-form unto itself? Imagine if some genius could get the scan time down. A living human could be scanned and a bust made in less than a day. Sure it would be great to be able to carve it by hand, but I find this absolutely amazing.

amazing manufacture！

@stratocaster1986able Yes! How far we have come!

This is mind blowing... does anyone realize this machine is cutting into marble? It's hard but I've also seen this stone crack & break off. Truly mind blowing.

Every tool shape has it's own calculation that take in account the shape and size of the tool and the scan. Especially 3D Scans are heavy to calculate, so we use all cores of the PC in our Copy CAD/CAM for stone. The choice of tool shape and size depends on the kind of material you want to work in. There is not just one kind of marble. You must know your material well, the machine and the tools available. It's far from automatic, it requires a lot of know-how.

machine - CMS Brembana, scanner - Scantech

Não heverá mais arte, só mecânica, logo máquinas estarão pintando quadros, fazendo músicas, e até poesias. É a matrix.

Nice job!

Great Engineering innovation

impresionante!!!

very good work

Nice machining

We use the scanner for complex shapes and most of all for restoration. This video is just a simple demonstration, I am not using this machine for making a bust or a statue just like any other proffesional in our natural stone industry. Any machine and every single peice of equipment is working good only if it is in the right hands.

People 2000 years ago made sculptures without machines, and they did it better ;)

Yes please, one coming to cumbrian stone early 2016 sooner if i get my way...

Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not bad.. not bad. Continue research. Good luck!

G Code is not really a programming language, more of a standardized communication language. It is a list of movement instructions and tool instructions that tell machines how fast to run various motors, what positions to move to, etc. It is generally produced as machine output from other programs, rather than being hand-coded.

Good job

5 axis is awesome

have bought one cnc machine bed type , excellent machine

Amazing!

Sweet barnet !!!

Amazing. The carving wasn't finished, though, through the chin and neck.

It would be great to re-create the lost art from a time when it was hand made.

It can rotate the tool up/down as well. Say, to carve out the inside of a bowl sitting on a table. It wasn't needed in this situation.

You are right, but if you don't have a turning lathe ? Examples using turning lathe - take a look at the links in the description text under the video Claus

you can easily go to the code line that you have stopped or interrupted the milling and restart the job, but be careful to re start the code after putting the machine in the correct coordinate system by G90G54 (if you are using G54 as your coordinate system offset)

si los romanos antiguos la hubieran descubierto esta maquina ,el mundo estaria lleno de estatuas.

Amazing.

8.5 hours in making?!!! That statue must worth a fortune.

Time lapse would have been great for this. Cool vid.

Impressive.

feel so fresh

that guys having a rainy day

nice machine

Actually, I think it might be possible. Cultured marble is marble dust mixed with a resin binder that is cast into forms. It should be possible to print this marble/resin mix.

Excilent :)

gotta love carrara marble.

unbelievable!!!!

superb

You can't fool us, Skynet.

Tell me why haven't we build Moria and Erebor yet? Why the ever living f**k isn't a fabulous marble statue of great scientists on every corner?

Imagine bringing him here in a time machine. For him to see this. The number of robes he'll soil would be Guinness worthy.

That depends entirely on the material being used and its size, as well as the capabilities of the machine and tool being used.

однозначно, стоить будет никак не меньше ручной работы...

if You are asking about the scanner there are 3 types , the one I got is the best one is 20K + usd...machine costs app. 10 times more...

OMG! It's David Hasselhoff.

Good good, the statue of Todd Howard is coming along well.

Thanks to technology and anyone can be an "artist", Michelangelo took years to make a real work of art ("The David") and now in a day they do it ...

awesome

Hi there nice video, what software did you use for this? Tanks in advance

Hi Sam, Sure we can scan a living human, take a look at the other videos. Scaling is the most simple thing to do for us :-) wbr Claus

I've always wondered how you figure out which tooltips should be used as different tooltips would require different controll code for the CNC (I guess). Is this all done automatically by software or does it require an engineer to think the whole process through?

Music to my ears.

Tom Cruise and his Impossible team would've done this in a matter of minutes :) ... But again... great video folks. Thanks for sharing..

muito bom

What's crazy is the fact the guy's used to to this shit with just a hammer and a chisel, fucking insane.

Dear publisler, which brand of 5 axes machine you used ?

QUAL A DIFERENÇA DE FAZER DENTRO DA ÁGUA E DESSE JEITO

tenho interesse de adiquirir essa maquina e trazer ela aqui para o brasil, gostaria de saber o preço e se é possivel importa-la.

i clicked the vid because the title said CNC :P

Are you still out there? I'm interested if the software is still available somewhere. CAM for 4 axis and above is hard to find

beautiful jov

Beautiful. All you need is the 3D geometry to cut it with ;D

RIP headphone users.

QUE PADRE YA NADA MAS SE HACER 4 EJES PERO 5 EJES WOOOOOO

i want one of this at home :p

Oof... good thing theres value in handmade things

شيء رائع وإبداع فعلا. بس ده لا يمنع النحت اليدوي لأن له رونقه الخاص

looks like the hoff !!

Where is this being cutting and how do I contact them?

To invent the computer, the software, and the 5 axis cnc machine took a lot longer than 4 years.

Amazing! but i think we have some problem with the neck. chin locks work with the neck. ignore the calculations work, but I think if the system could work at an angle, perhaps resolved

Well the water is recycled in the machine, so it's not so bad. It's a grinding not cutting process using diamond tools :-)

Very nice work. Who is the supplier of the tools used in the video?

Great engineering. But Final version looks like a person with his brains inside out! Also next step should be to send this model through a clone machine, and we would have our own "Caesar" :=) And hope the water is reused later, else all this is a waste of resources.

Skynet is building a terminator cyborg.

hola, precio de la maquina instalada en colombia.

8 people are ancient roman marble sculptors.

where can I find a company able to mill stone?

It's called Technology.

is this machine just for this type of materials,or can cut metals?

so high technology

People used to make these things by hand

8.5 h, DAMN! how much power does this thing consum in one Project?
