Convert 2D to 3D

[sharkcutup]

Hello Tex,

Yeah that is something I will do when I finalize this challenge. Right now just concentrating on getting all vectors organized for the toolpathing. By grouping the toolpaths it will then become clear as to how the stacking carving process is achieved. Grouping toolpaths definitely is a great feature.

Another feature to keep in mind is the ability to use the layers of certain vectors and vector selection to associate vectors to toolpaths rather than just picking and highlighting vectors randomly and/or individually from the drawing view.

Decided to take the time to group toolpaths while it was fresh on the mind. I also cleaned up/renamed some of the layers involved within the project too.
Below is a image showing these changes.

Certainly hope this process inspires/motivates someone!!!

Thank You Highpockets (John)!

Something I would like to mention too is the fact that if you were to create an entire model from this Emblem the carving time would be huge versus the Stacking Technique to achieve a 3 Dimensional Appearance!!!

I would like to apologize to ReddandBon for having highjacked this thread.

When I complete the task at hand I will post the .crv file here (provided file size is okay) if not I will post a link to dropbox!

Almost Complete

Tweeking rope and anchors, along with the flag background vectors.

Then fine tune all the toolpaths

Looking great!

Navy Mustang Emblem Layered Stacked 3 Dimensional Appearance is Complete

I believe it turned out rather well. Definitely was an interesting challenge!

Is there anything else that can be done to make it better? Interested in hearing your comments/suggestions!

I will post a dropbox link to the .crv file tomorrow after I review everything in the file and upload to dropbox.

Wow! I hope some day to have the knowledge of this software to complete at task/challenge like you just completed!

Take a little off the sharp edges?

Awful lot of work on that skull scratcher Shark!
Well done!

Thank You Everyone for your comments/suggestions they are well taken and appreciated!

Here is another version of the Navy Mustang Emblem with outer edge prepped. This can also be made where the text and stars are VCarved into outer perimeter rather than projected upward as they are in the image thereby removing some exposed sharp edges.

Stay tuned the .crv file will be coming soon. I am on the final review before uploading to dropbox

Version as stated in previous post.

It can be also made with the approx. 1/4" raised border taking away the radiused edge. All depends on the individual's preference!

Please Be sure to adjust Toolpaths and recalculate for your machine!!!
