Billet Helmet

Holy 5 axis!
Sure beats my 3 axis wood machine, but that's fun too.
Another 10 years and I'll have that in the basement....

 I just emailed the link to that to my NASA prototype engineer/machinist buddy. He said he'd be willing to make that exact helmet out of titanium for $1500 a shot.

Was he serious?  And if so, how?

Material would cost more than that alone.

Machine time would cost more than that alone.

I'll take a case of 10.

It's amazing, especially the details on the back of the helmet and mouth guard.  Even it's just for show, I still want one!

That is super badass, and re-goddamn-diculous all at once!

[Kopfjager]

I made one using only a flathead screwdriver and steelwool

It's easy...

NASA is paying for machine time and materials.

ok -- if someone has one of the mills available -- please send it my way!  (I actually have a Boeing CAD/CAM guy that could actually use it)

I'll put it right next to another machine I badly want as well...

That is, of course, very cool, but I couldn't help but think that this is what it would look like if machines took a crap.
