Carving Chair Seats

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

If you have Pro, here is a pixel image for one:

Chair Seat bottom

This is the first time I’ve ever used a CNC design tool. So I’m asking for advice on how to make a sitting pad in a chair bottom. Maybe someone already has it done. Anyway I’m sure there is something better than what I came up with. Thank you for your help… Dan [a] [a1]

and a walkthrough (again, for Pro) at:

Ergonomic seat 3D carving

Hello! I need to carve out from teak wood an ergonimic seat like this one [image] Is it possible using Carbide Create to have that 3D path? How I set it up from a 2D design imported from Illustrator? Thank you

That said, the file you have could be made smoother with a bit of interpolation/blending and by using ball-nosed tooling, see:

Making a base for a model

Given a prototype base: [image] How to make it in Carbide Create? First, we have a pixel image with some dimensions: [F-86 base scan with measurements] We import that into Carbide Create: [image] using “Set Background”: [image] and adjust for size: [image] [image] It’s then a matter of drawing and toolpaths and so forth (we will try to do it w/o Create Pro, but will also show that). For reference, there is an overhead view as well: [DSC00036]
