Can Overhanging patterns be done with a CNC Shark

Post by radman »

Hello Guys
Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to reproduce something like the included photo of some projects done with a Carvewright CNC.

Found instruction for layering text so maybe this would be similar.

Thank, Tom

You need aspire to do that. Make the board longer and wider than the model and cutout a long the outline.

Actually, you don't "need" Aspire to carve those but it does make it much easier.

I did many plaques, coat racks, etc. just like these using Cut 3D and VCarve Pro. What you will need is a lot of patience and time to figure out how to manipulate the images. You will also need the 3D images to use in Cut 3D so you can import them into VCarve Pro. You'll find yourself using the trim (scissors) quite a bit since you'll have to create several outlines of the images you want to carve.

The layering text method is completely different and won't do what you want.

There are a few examples in this photo. All of these were cut using VCarve Pro and/or Cut 3D. Now that I have Aspire, what used to take me days to design only takes me a few hours (I'm really picky).
