Re: DREDD 3D - Helmet Build
In theory. But inside corners are different than outside corners when you're talking about cutting with a round bit. One will be a round corner the other would be square. I'm molding it and pulling resin cast anyways.. So no lost vac detail.
Renshape is good for that type of mold.. SignFoam isn't as dense.. so i'd be left with a gritty surface as well.
SignFoam is about $400 for a 4x8x1.5 vs $900+ for the same size in ren.
I'll mill the back half out.. then seal it all up and do some hand tooling on it.. Then I'll sand and body work it until its smooth as babies butt. Once i'm happy with the master I'll mold it. Bingo Bango..

Since you are CNC milling the Helmet you could have milled it as a female mold. The detail in the vacform would have been as sharp as the 3d model.
