Toroidal Knot 3D surface model that I created in AutoCAD for the Acrylic CNC Sculpture. We sometimes referred to it as "The Intermingled Donut". I generated CNC prototypes and acrylic castings for it while I was working at Norman Mercer Acrylic Sculpture Studios. |

CNC Machined Donut One of the prototype studies generated for Toroidal Knot machined in Ren Shape on a Techno-Isel CNC router. The ultimate challenge was to develop a molding strategy to create a one-piece acrylic casting. | |

Toroidal Shapes Various shapes were generated from CAD surface models for machining studies of 3D toroidal surfaces for CNC sculptures. | |

Wireframe Surface Mesh Toroidal Knot surfaces viewed in wireframe mode. There is a certain intrinsic beauty to surface mesh entities and NURBS surfaces in themselves. |
