Here is a look at
how the Canadian Flag parachute was made.
An image of a
Canadian flag was loaded into the cad program.
The maple leaf was
outlined and the flag was then removed.
Then the maple leaf was sized to fit the 82" parachute.
Then the G-code was
created so the maple leaf could be marked out.
Here is a look as the
machine used the G-code to mark out the maple leaf.
Here is a look at the
maple leaf after it was cut from the material.
Then the edges of
the maple leaf were hemmed.
Then the maple leaf
was stitched to the white panel of the flag.
Here is a look at
the completed white panel after it was sewn to the red
panels.
Here the completed
parachute was being rigged.
