Artist Draws on Our Attention to Detail

Three years ago when his waterjet cutter went out of business, artist Christopher Erney contacted Peifer Waterjet. Since then, Erney and Peifer Waterjet have worked together to create many art pieces for public spaces and private homes. Many of the pieces have an ‘under the sea’ theme, including this rolling wave piece installed at the Holy Cross Hospital. Ernie creates the drawings for his artwork in Adobe Illustrator then exports them as a CAD file (dxf or dwg). Since the files are not native CAD files, the arcs and circle are converted to line segments creating jagged edges. Using our CAD software’s edge fix feature, we can smooth out the lines for a nice, clean edge. Even though there’s an added cost for this service, the result is a work of art.
