3D Printed Cassowary

3D Printed Cassowary Exhibit in NE Queensland. The sculpture depicts a female cassowary and her young for the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway Exhibit.

My involvement in this project included 3D modeling the character from rough concepts and preparing for CNC machining and 3d printing (splitting, cut path programming & CNC machine operation)

Work done for Sculpt Studios PTY LTD
