CNC - 9m Mandela Sculpture - Union Buildings - Pretoria - 2013
The above 3D scanned image was then digitally enhanced & upscaled to 9 meters tall. The maximum size that the CNC machine could handle was 2.4m long by 1.2m wide x 400mm thick. All panels were cut within these dimensions using high density polyurethane foam. During this process SCS also then digitally designed a steel frame / armature around which these blocks were to be built.
