Have you ever wanted to import a logo and engrave it on a part? In this segment, we’ll take a deeper look at using different capabilities underneath 2.5 Axis Functionality, along with inserting .svg files as a reference for embossing. We\u2019ll leverage the \u2018Trace\u2019 Toolpath Strategy, and truly understand the value of a fully integrated CAM Package by seamlessly interchanging between Modeling and CAM functionality when needed. Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Below are highlights of the commands:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The\u00a0CREATE PATCH<\/strong>\u00a0command creates a planar or 3D Surface within the boundary of a specified closed loop. This enables surfaces as model input, allowing surfaces to be taken into account when calculating tool path, eliminating the need to patch holes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Surfaces.png\"<\/p>\n

When inserting a .SVG File, take into account the \u2018scale plane XY\u2019 value to adjust the size of the imported image.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once the .SVG is scaled to your liking, use \u2018PROJECT TO SURFACE\u2019<\/strong> to have it project on your selected faces.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Blog<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*TIP*<\/strong><\/span> – Make sure you\u2019re still in the sketch of the .SVG Import to select the faces you want to project on.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Blog<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The TRACE<\/strong>\u00a0operation allows you to machine along contours with varying Z values and with, or without, left and right compensation. You can leverage the projected sketch and have a tool trace along it\u2019s path.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Blog<\/p>\n

\"Blog<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Under the PASSES TAB<\/strong>, change the Axial Offset to determine how deep you want the tool to cut.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Blog<\/p>\n

Under the LINKING TAB<\/strong>, UNCHECK<\/strong> \u2018Keep tool Down\u2019, to allow retraction of the tool between each letter being machined.<\/span><\/p>\n
