TRying to play with 3-d, my head hurts LOL. make a 9" sign with my wifes business name.... back plotted the fishing lure,to dxf then imported into sketchup. a whopping 42" lure!!! Now we have big fish in here in Alaska, but I ain't fishing for whales(or bigger??) How did this file come about? did you find it some where, made it your self?? Oby wan Mark help me. Help me oby wan Mark. I have been playing with other bit maps into tool path. using BMP bender then into meshcam. Any one else have input???
lol this one was a fishing lure mold I found on the 3D warehouse here http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ ... revstart=0 Here is the lure itself http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ ... revstart=0 Mark
ARTCAM! how much did that cost you?? Isn't that the real expensive one like several grand, maybe i,m thinking of the otherone.... Anyway I used meshcam. cnc4free is a site that I'd say might be a low cost solution for those on a shoestring. A free program I found the other day that microsoft bought(now that's scary) is True Space, google it, does 3-d modeling, and a whole lot more, tons of videos, gota go to work now, later......
I have been experimenting with a lot of different programs demos out there, I could never afford artcam but it works well. I like the cut2Dprogram by velectric as well. There is a free program out there called CAMBAM and that seems to work well too. Mark
