Any idea how to approach making a branding iron like this?

It looks like they are using a combination of engraving bit and bullnose tapered bits with to achieve beautiful precision and detail. Studying how to make high-resolution branding irons with a Nomad 883. How to achieve some of these passes with Fusion 360 elude me. Any suggestions?. Possible with the Nomad 883, right?.

Export an STL and use MeshCAM?

Well, yeah, it’s a few tool paths and will take a little work. Absolutely possible with the Nomad. Once you’ve got what you want modeled, the toolpaths are not super difficult, but totally non-obvious when you’re getting started. I’d strongly recommend you watch some of the fusion videos from NYN CNC (youtube) or some of the tutorials over at autodesk for fusion CAM.
