An artefact rebuilt

An Egyptian Museum artefact, rebuilt from scan to finished piece. A find from the Egyptian Museum rebuilt in every detail: the scan becomes a digital model, the model becomes a milling path, the block of wood becomes the statuette.

How we did it

  1. Scan and model

    The artefact is scanned; the digital model is completed and both faces are prepared for machining.

  2. Roughing

    The CNC mill removes most of the material, layer after layer.

  3. Finishing

    Smaller tools and dense passes bring out the details: face, arms, folds.

  4. Second face

    The block is flipped and the back is machined, then the piece is cut free from its holding tabs.

  5. Hand finishing

    Sanding and touch-ups by hand, to the finished statuette.

Milling

Bring us the context. The constraints. Even the mess.

Finding the way is our job.
