Re: Engraving / carving on a domed object

Here goes.

I did the 3D finish on the dome, then the Pocket engrave and projected to 3d model.. Heres what I got so far. It appears that the design does conform to the curvature of the done.. Fingers Crossed.

Thank you so much.

I will try this in a simulation and see if I can do what youve suggested. Still fairly new with this so Im still learning.
