Vader’s head bust composed of many curves created by an N/C (numerical controlled) milling machine interpreting instructions from sophisticated CAD design software.

What you see is the roughed up Darth Vader head bust that an N/C milling machine created based on instructions interpreted from sophisticated design software into machine code. The other picture, image 2, is the smooth finished product.

I took these pictures at the recent 2016 SME Montreal Manufacturing Technology Show that I had the pleasure to attend and have written about in a number of previous posts.

This is my contribution for WP weekly photo challenge:”CURVE”.
