Eric Huber showed me this clever design and I just had to reverse engineer it. Done in Creo+
Here are the models…
And it goes through it without any interference? That is surprising
I’ve seen this amazing concept, have you 3D printed it?
have a 3MF to share?
i was thinking to model this weekend .you are too quick Michael P. Bourque :) 😀
Creo+... Hmm.. what is it :)
That is awesome and it's great to see in the comments how many see an application for it just by you SHARING your talents...Amazing work once again!!
These could be used as conical auger bits on the end of a snake, or as a drill head which could be chased by a congruently shaped brush/cleaning system. Much like a TBM is driven into the side of a wall during tunnel construction, a series of these along a central wire structure could also produce continuous boring which could leave bits behind as it backs out. This could create an amorphous reinforcing system as "conical rebar". In addition, they could be used to serve as reference points for autonomous time series training data for automated machinery. Additionally, they could be remotely drilled shape charges for even more precisely controlled implosion processes.
