Robotic wood carving

[Stefan Palokangas]

I'm delighted to take the next step towards more success.

 

Decided to buy a kuka robot for wood carvings. And a 3D scanner.

 

Any of you guys tried this yet ?

 

Seems to be the future

Let us know how you get on Stefan.Any pictures etc

Looks pretty different. Do you scan an image and the robot recreates it?

Yes with a 3D scanner, and it will program itself. You run the program in the computer as a simulator and if all is fine you go live on a bit of wood. You can scan the full body of anything and make it.

Indeed, will be a lot of setup before I get it here. It will be another positive challenge. It's the new thing that will take off and change an existing market.

Hi Stefan

 

Please don't take offence to what I am about to say

 

Surely the art and craft of wood carving cannot be replicated by machine and computer. Where is the artistic ability and skill in becoming a computer programmer?

 

Carving is a learned skill that requires practice and time to master. There are many great carvers on here that weald chainsaws to great results, or to the likes of me who get fed up using chainsaws all day so use traditional chisels instead.

 

Computers and 3d CNC machines cannot and will not ever recreate the skill and artistic ability of the human hand and mind.

 

When you see a mass produced computer orientated carving it de-values the true meaning of time honoured skill and craftsmanship - is this what progress and skill really means?

 

I think these true values, should, and do reflect on the sort of person I thought you were (based on your postings). Are you more interested in mass produced/mass profit/ little skill, or the true meaning of human craftsmanship?

 

Kind regards

David
