Discover the thrill of assembling a 3D wooden model inspired by the iconic Kamov Ka-50 “Black Shark” attack helicopter! This laser-cutting project features detailed design plans to bring this helicopter model to life, with free downloadable files in formats such as DXF, SVG, CDR, PDF, and DWG. By carefully replicating the essential elements of the Ka-50, including its unique counter-rotating rotors and three-wheeled landing gear, this model captures the essence of the original while incorporating some creative adjustments for a seamless laser-cut assembly.
In this design, we’ve paid close attention to the distinctive features of the Ka-50 helicopter. Although some details have been adapted due to the nature of laser-cutting technology, the resulting model is a faithful representation, embodying the aggressive look and intricate components of the “Black Shark.” With machine guns and bombs modeled as part of the design, this helicopter is ready for action!
How the Model is Constructed
Laser cutting operates in 2D, slicing flat materials along the X and Y axes. When it comes to creating 3D models like this helicopter, individual 2D pieces are cut and then assembled, much like a 3D puzzle. This assembly process makes the project perfect for both adults and kids alike. For adults, it’s a rewarding hobby project or a unique decor piece, while kids can enjoy it as an interactive toy that teaches them about helicopter design and mechanics. Building the model can also be a therapeutic activity, reducing stress and providing a sense of accomplishment with each piece that clicks into place.
Specifications and Materials
This helicopter model consists of 64 interlocking 2D pieces, designed to fit tightly together without the need for adhesives or fasteners. You can cut these pieces from 3mm thick materials like plywood, MDF, balsa, or hardwood, making it highly versatile. Hobbyists can take customization further by painting the model, adding details, or using materials in various colors or tones to give it a personalized touch. Try adding bright colors to the rotor tips or applying decals to represent different defense units for added realism!
Laser Cutting Compatibility
Our design files are fully compatible with a variety of vector and CAD software, as well as laser cutting machine software. The parts are precisely scaled for 3mm materials, so there’s no need for additional scaling. Simply adjust your laser cutter’s power and speed settings according to the material and the wattage of your machine, and you’re ready to cut.
