CAD & DIGITAL PRODUCTION PIPELINE

At FACEHEAD.CO, CAD serves as the backbone of an advanced digital pipeline for practical effects, animatronics, fabrication, and VFX-heavy productions. The studio uses digital design to bridge physical builds and digital effects, creating accurate models that can move cleanly between screen, workshop, mould-making, machining, and final production.

CAD
The process includes Rhino 3D and Grasshopper for precise 3D modelling and parametric design, ZBrush for detailed digital sculpting, and hard-surface modelling tools for complex geometries, mechanisms, and production-ready components.


 

ELECTRONICS & CONTROL
FACEHEAD.CO also uses CAD and PCB design tools, embedded systems, coding environments, and custom control software to develop electronics, lighting control, and control systems for robotic creatures, animatronic performance systems, kinetic artworks, and interactive installations.

PRACTICAL TO DIGITAL
By integrating CAD/CAM, digital sculpting, 3D scanning, PCB design, software, lighting control, CNC machining, 3D printing, and traditional fabrication, FACEHEAD.CO connects practical craftsmanship with advanced digital workflows for accurate, repeatable, and production-ready outcomes.
