The beauty of the beast
14 Jan 2013
It's only 1:50-scale but, still, it can't fail to impress: this week, a new model of the tokamak arrived at ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Headquarters after a long voyage from the manufacturing shop of See & See Power Tech in Seoul, Korea. See & See has years of experience in manufacturing scale models for nuclear facilities, including Korea's superconducting tokamak KSTAR.
That experience came in handy when the company was faced with the task of converting ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ files—a comprehensive dataset describing the millions of pieces that form the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ machine—into a form that could be read by into their 3D-printers and CNC mills to shape out the beautiful mockup that is now on stage at the ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Headquarters.
