Help with Project to Surface

[Len-Tikular]

I need a little help with projecting my Alvis text and triangle onto a domed piece of Aluminum.
I only need to carve 3/4mm deep but I want to ensure even depth on the workpiece.


I.m using the 'Project vector' onto the workpiece but it's not working for me. Clearly I've missed the point.

I would appreciate any help.

Many thanks

Can you post what is going wrong.
Seems OK to me.

Many thanks for your reply,

Can you help with the process you followed and what is the best tool to use considering I only want to go 30 to 40 thou deep.

I created a component from a circled and then applied a 10 degree dome to it,
I then created my toolpath and mapped the log to the surface.

Also, I need the reverse of what you have shown. Please see pic attached.

Many thanks

You need to shrink the logo a little and then put an off-set vector (3-4mm) around the triangle. That provides the needed second vector to do the V-carve. Try a 90 deg V-bit.
