I would suggest you start by finding that out then looking into how to program with it. I think its unlikely that a program already exists.</p>
<p>You could always go on to something like Fiver where you can pitch for someone to design things for you. I've never tried it but I would be surprised if there wasn't 3D modellers selling their services.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi guys!</p>
<p>I've been scouring the internet high and low for the past few months for information regarding Gibson ES-335 guitars from the iconic 1959-1960 era. I want to have a go at building something very much like it, but I've hit a stumbling block. I want to use a CNC to cut a mould which will shape the top and back contours from inside a vacuum bag. I've seen similar things attempted on this forum.</p>
<p>I'm using the fantastic plans by Pat Sharkey which I have seen others referring to on the forum. These plans have measurements for the contours, but how do I get from lines on a piece of paper, to a robot precision slicing it from finest MDF, I don't know. Does anyone have the CAD for cutting an ES-335 mould, or alternatively would anyone be able to help me develop it? I've been asking all over the place, and would really appreciate the help.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Michael</p>]]></content:encoded>
