What Software are you using to create the design?

[@sandylakewoodworks]

I wrote my own software to create the design.

Hypothetically say i have an image and i would like to make it parametric how would onewould
go about it ?

[@sandylakewoodworks]

You’d need some kind of software that can covert the image pixels into a readable value. I’d recommend converting the image to black and white so you only have one color value to work with. Assign the darkest values to a 0 and the highest values to 1, then interpolate everything in between. I’d probably round all the numbers into bins to make the numbers more manageable. Then apply a height to each value and cut the image up into slices. Probably down-select to using only 1 in X number of rows/columns so you don’t have thousands of rows/columns to work with.

Awesome work, the software you mention, Is an open source one? Thanks, great work.

[@sandylakewoodworks]

The software I'm using is one I wrote myself in Python. I'm currently not sharing my code though. I've seen other examples of people using a software called grasshopper though.

What is the yellow sanding disc you are using?

[@sandylakewoodworks]

I picked them up on Amazon a while back. They have a hook and loop pad so it accepts a standard 5” sanding disk.
