Technique that I saw..Trying to figure out.

Post by tnwalkinghorse »

Does anyone know how to achieve this look with Aspire? It looks like flutes running parallel to each other with text over layed on top with a V-bit. Thanks!

If you look at the "M" there appears to be artefacts of a raster 3D finishing toolpath. So, model the "corrugation" and the text as 3D components?

The corrugation probably with a two-rail sweeps. The text as an "extrusion" with tapered sides (however that is accomplished in Aspire).

Easy to do in Aspire. Create your own unique bit for the background and then use the toolpath preview to create a component. Add a text component(s) on top and create a finish toolpath for all.
This is pretty crude but illustrates the technique. The file is too big to upload so here is a link.

Since it is a raster cut it might take a while to carve.
