Re: Project text onto 3D model
If you click on project tool path onto 3-d model it should give you the results that you want.

Re: Project text onto 3D model
Gotcha, so you would cut the text as a v-carve, not using the quick engrave option (which has no project option)
Thanks for the advise.

Re: Project text onto 3D model
I have almost always done it as v-carve. On a few occasions I have created components out of the vectors and created raised lettering. Here is a sample. Houston Police and Texas are components created by text vectors. The word sergeant is v-carved onto the curved portion of the badge.

Re: Project text onto 3D model
Thanks. Being self taught on the shopbot and aspire I have learned by trial and error. Trust me there have been lots of errors. The forum and tutorials have helped so much. Every now and then I go back to re-look at old tutorials. Things that were Greek to me when I first watched now make a little more sense.

Nice Job Cowboy
My next door neighbor would like that he is a Houston Police officer.
You live in the Houston area?

I lived and worked there but when I hit retirement age I escaped. I know what the big city looks like and growing old there is not an option. Too many crack heads and speed freaks.

Re: Project text onto 3D model
Keeping in line with projecting v-carving on a 3-d model. This plaque went out to a retired game warden from Pennsylvania. The plaque itself has a dome or tapered shape to it. But the software accounts for this shape and gives you an even cut.
Thanks for the comments by the way.

Re: Project text onto 3D model
What great work you do. I have yet to unpack my Shark CNC as it arrived yesterday but one day I may be able to make something as cool as this. Again, great work.
Re: Project text onto 3D model
I like your badge!
Is that Maple?
What finish did you use?
Thanks
