Moment of Inspiration 3D modeling for designers and artists
Spline Weight   by Jay Abbott         View full size

Used MoI to create shape from photos of a spline weight I made years ago. Imported into Alibre to create parts and an assembly. Then exported to KeyShot to render. Main body of weight is cast lead. Pin is a long wood screw bent with sharpened tip. Spline weights are used to draw freeform curves like in boat design. A series of spline weights were used hold a spline batten to a curve.
