If I was to try making a putter I'd take a relatively low tech approach, since I don't have a milling machine. Carve the head out of wax, coat it in plaster, melt the wax and pour some kind of molten metal in there, probably aluminum. What's a good metal?
Yes you can definitely make a putter on NOMAD 3. You'll have to adjust for the available capacity of the machine as well as the spindle requirements. You can definitely make a functional putter on that machine. 100%
If this design process were undertaken for a single putter, the price would be easily North of $1500. In fact, if I cost it out, I wouldn't be surprised to see it be double that. 3K. - Kevin
We modeled in some substantial posts (tabs) to hold the head in space. At the end of SIDE-B programming there were toolpaths to cut off the back two posts and narrow the front two down to nearly nothing. Bend the letter head back and forth a couple times and it was free.
@@billstrahan4791 Sure! And you don't have to use a needle applicator, like in the video. I used to just fill in grooves or engraving on the bottom of a club and squeegee off the excess.
