CONCEPTION sculpture in plate aluminium
Our client requested an outdoor sculptural furniture piece inspired by the meeting of sperm and egg. He supplied a sketch and I developed the parts to be CNC machined from 4mm aluminium plate. I produced all CAD including flat plate development and nesting as well as production sequence and ID marks.
