Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 19, 2023 Hash Fellow Posted March 19, 2023 This guy shows a process for creating holographic images manually... by scratching plastic? He admits to difficulty in creating truly 3D shapes, but other people do it well. I'm wondering... Could A:M somehow be used simplify/streamline the planning for this? 1 Quote
*A:M User* Roger Posted March 19, 2023 *A:M User* Posted March 19, 2023 You might be able to use AM to make a 3D model that could be used in the etching process, but it sounds like you'd either need a CNC machine or maybe one of those laser engravers to carry out the etching process, I think it would be way too difficult to try and do something like that by hand.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 20, 2023 Author Hash Fellow Posted March 20, 2023 Here's how I think it could work... You have a plane with a circle on it that is relationshipped to change radius depending on how far along the Z axis it is. You place the center on any point you want to make an arc for and it sizes the circle for you. You have a clear piece of plexiglass over your monitor and scratch away with the circle as your guide for compass center and distance. When you're done you paint the back of the plexiglass black.
