Carving stamps

sample

Hello, as a newcomer and a beginner, I want to open a first topic.

With the laser it is not so difficult, and I wondered if this is also possible in estlcam. I have already made some attempts in V12 to cut out letters. vcarve cutting pocketing.
Between the letters it remains open and I see no possibility to cut out the entire letter in a group.

Who can help me on my way.

Greetings,
Willem

Are you wanting to carve Stamps as in stamping ink or paint to a surface? If you are remember to flip the image. I don’t understand your question about cutting out a letter in a group.

Your question is unclear. I suspect that you can v-carve around the outside and inside of the characters, but you are not able to pocket out the rest of material in order to make the letters stand out in relief. I know this is an issue in Fusion 360, and I’m aware of the workaround, but I’m not an Estlcam user. Please confirm or deny if this is the issue, and, if this is the issue, I’m sure an Estlcam user can give you a solution.

Edit: posting a picture might help understand the problem.

The problem you have is that you try do to it as a pocket, you need to do it as a carve and set a clearing tool. :slight_smile:

To answer it yourself, right click on the line of the letter in V12. I had read the tutorial of V11, a bit different. In carve mode line outside.
Have the paid version, so experimenting.

With success, carve toolbit 3,14 mm/15 top angle. Easy job to do, I think 1,5 mm for thickness .

Oh, that was your question. You absolutely did not phrase that right. :smiley:
