Hey, folks..
I looked through FOTC but didn't find what I was looking for and figured
that perhaps someone in here would know.
I'm looking to get some 3D (well .. 2.5D) files from pieces that i have.
If I were just using the laser, I could probably scan them on a flatbed
and clean them up in Photoshop. But it doesn't really give you a good file,
just something that 'kinda-sorta' looks like it has the detail.
I bought a Carvewright and was planning on getting the scanning
probe for that, but quickly learned that the machine wasn't going
to do what I bought it for, so I don't have it. And I don't think the
scanning probe and software were sensitive enough for this anyway.
I have a few pieces to start.. two letter openers and some prototype
plaster carvings (2-3") raised relief. Think of a cameo and you've got
the idea.
Does anyone build files from pieces like this? I'd need it to run on a
CNC router, and be able to resize it. (and a photo for the laser) I
run Mach3, Corel and I have a couple of free CAD programs that
make my stomach queasy when I try to learn them, but I'll have to.
Drop me a PM if interested..
Thanks
