Robotic milling of a foam logo: King Komb project
September 27, 2023
Absolutely, turning a regular 2D logo into a three-dimensional figure is not only possible but also a creative way to bring branding to life. Thailand Saltbox Workshop recently demonstrated this by transforming the King Komb logo into a 3D masterpiece.
The process involves several steps. First, a 3D model is meticulously crafted from the 2D logo, capturing all its intricate details. This model is then translated into SprutCAM X Robot software. Parameters such as dimensions, the type of robot to be used, and the size of the workpiece are configured to generate a program for the robot. This program can be simulated to ensure a smooth and error-free process.
Once everything is set, the program is sent to the robot arm, which takes on the task of sculpting the foam plastic into the desired three-dimensional figure. The result is a striking representation of the logo.
But the process doesn’t end there. The final figure undergoes additional hand-finishing touches and is carefully painted to ensure it faithfully represents the original logo. This attention to detail ensures that the 3D logo figure not only captures the essence of the brand but also stands out as a unique and eye-catching display piece.
So, whether you’re looking to enhance your brand’s presence or simply want to add a touch of artistry to your logo, the transformation from 2D to 3D is an exciting and achievable endeavor.
