Three dimensional duplicator assembly

Abstract

The apparatus disclosed herein comprises a base having first and second platforms rotatably mounted thereto. First and second rods are mounted in parallel upon the base. First and second wheels have circumferential edges shaped to mate with the rods and are received thereon, a shaft spanning between the wheels and being received within central apertures defined by the wheels. Cables are secured to the rods and extend about the circumferential edges of the respective wheels to permit the wheels to roll but not slide along the rods. A mounting bracket is mounted to the shaft and a mount rod is rotatably supported by the mounting bracket. A stylus is mounted to one end of the mount rod; a router is mounted to the other end of the mount rod. The stylus is positionable against an object located on the first platfortt and the router is correspondingly positionable against a work piece located on the second platform. By appropriate, corresponding rotation of the first and second platforms and movement of the stylus against the object, the router will produce a three-dimensional reproduction of the object from the work piece.
