2D CAD is pretty easy, its all lines, arcs, and circles tied together to make a design. CAD makes it easy to draw to scale. I am not sure if TurboCAD can save in DXF format, but that was what was required. If you were just making a template for yourself to print out and use, TurboCAD would be great (scales too).

3D is a different story. This is my Tactical Punisher Design, based on the "Purist" I received from Robert Williams.


I can't wait to see these shave ready.

That is a most impressive drawing. Someday we will be able to design anything we want, and "print" it out as a sort of electrolytically-milled hologram in hardened steel. I hope I am still young enough to care.

Turbocad Designer 18 can both open and save in DXF format, but I would check up on any earlier version. On opening a DWG drawing and saving as DXF, a warning appears that it may not save all Turbocad features. But on a cursory trial I can't see which, and I think it may only apply to some that aren't needed for simple 2D work.

And this is what I ended up with! I didn't do every pattern this time, but I think the others will be making an appearance shortly!



For those keeping track, that was six major revisions, 5 in less than 36 hours, which included maybe 12-15 minor adjustments and suggestions and changes.

CAD design credits and certain design elements credited to Cody Carlson.

Thanks again for all the offers of help. It's stuff like this that make SRP great. I hope some day to be able to make such a huge contribution to someone!

You can already '3D print' in metal using direct metal laser sintering - I suggest checking it out on YouTube - it's the manufacturing of the future!

Hi,

What are the blade thicknesses for the razors here:

I can measure with my calipers tomorrow night, but I believe they are 0.280" or 0.300". I'll measure tomorrow when I get home.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. Did you make further progress(grinding etc.) on them? Btw, your message box is full.
Thanks.
