First, configure the stock: [image] Draw in the geometry for the bowl and place as desired: [image] Inset by the desired width of the rim of the bowl: [image] [image] Offset to the outside of the bowl by endmill diameter plus 10%: [image] [image] Draw in geometry to define the stock (since we’ll be working subtractively): [image] Go to the 3D model tab and model the stock: [image] Select the geometry for the inner curve of the bowl and model it: [image] [image] Then im…

as requested on support… Given an STL file: [image] which one wants to cut out as: [image] one first loads it into Carbide Create Pro: [image] which previews in 3D as expected: [image] When an STL is imported, the perimeter will be traced: [image] Assuming one wants to cut around the 3D object, one offsets from this by endmill diameter plus 10% or so: [image] [image] It is then possible to assign a 3D roughing toolpath using this offset geometry: [image] [image] Then a 3…

Will, I followed along until your image shows 3D Import. Just figured out how to get to 3d import. I think I need to sign up for some help with 3d.

If you’ll let us know what you are having difficulty doing we will either find a tutorial which applies, or create one.
