Royal Opera House Set

Hydromar again had the privilege this year of working with the Royal Opera House on part of one of their sets. - The first step was to 'clean up' the CAD file, by removing any double entities, re-drawing the poly lines as true 3 point curves for a better quality cut, and closing up any open entities. We then set about breaking up the parts of the set to fit into standard sheet sizes of the selected material to lower cost and make it possible as each section of the vines measured around 11m x 8m. - We then took the separate parts and put them back together in a key showing the final parts that would be shipped. This was sent to the Royal Opera House for approval beforehand. - After approval the material was then ordered, and our team set about programming up the arrays ready to cut as soon as the material arrived, the largest impact on lead time was the availability of the material which had to be brought in from Europe.
