I learned quite a bit with this job. With the amount of time I spent on this job, we should have charge two to three times as much... you can't charge people to learn new things, though.

Anyway, this is scale model of a spinal implant blown up 10x so it can be used at trade shows. The top (metallic blue) of this model was made on our CNC mill from 3D CAD geometry as a single piece. The bottom was cut first and then flipped and located so we could cut the other side. The bottom (white/beige) oval part was made on our CNC mill and glued together to make a single piece.

The most exciting part about this job was the screws. These were made using our brand spankin' new 4th axis for our CNC mill. Since I had never done anything using a 4th axis, this took some figuring out. The end result was spectacular, though so it was all worth the effort.
