Hello All,
I'm trying to cut a sphere to give me two identicle surfaces (like a baseball). I know it's called an Ovel of Cassini, but what I need to do is figure out what it looks like from a side view so I can split the surface of the sphere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA, Muggs

Thats where I saw it. Thanks Dale, I new I saw one somewhere.

Here you go,...
Paul,
That's very cool.
I'll say this much for ya. You have a real talent for finding simple, visual, solutions to complex geometry problems.

Interesting, you can substitute a parabola for the arc and still get a reasonable result.
The next trick is to do a flat pattern layout.

Paul,
Why the 4" dia dimension on the arc? I created a similar part that had that arc coradial to the profile of the ball and it worked. At least it seems to be the same geometry, I could be overlooking something.
