When you say 3D cut file do you mean a 3D model the same as the models in the 3D clipart supplied with the software? If so then yes it can be by someone who has the modeling skills to do that, there are people on the forum such as Michael Mezalic who do that sort of thing for a living :lol: :lol:

If its converting to vectors so you can toolpath it then same again yes it could be redrawn using the tools within the software :lol:

I have separated The banner from the eyeglasses. And have Vectors for both.
What I want to be able to do is to round over the outer edge and the inner eye of the glasses. Then cut them out.
The banner I want to put some text on it and then pocket out around the text to make the text raised.

You could do that with a roundover bit, which would mean there was no need for a 3D model, the banner & text you already know how to do :lol: :lol:

...and if round-over bits are not the same diameter as what you are trying to achieve you could use the moulding toolpath to accomplish this and still not need a 3D model.

I am not familiar with how the moulding tool works.
