Making a bowl in Carbide Create Pro

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

as requested on support…

…make:

• Board size = 10" x 6" x 1.5" (thick)

• Product size = 8" x 4" x 1.5"

• Cut bowl size = 7" x 3" (upper lip)

• Bottom of bowl = 4" x 1.5" ; 0.25" thickness remain at bottom.

The file will be set up at twice the necessary size so that top and bottom may be cut in separate operations:

Draw in geometry for each half:

Then draw in a circle:

and scale:

clear the checkbox for Keep Proportions:

to draw the outer perimeter at the top.

Draw in a circle for the bottom:

and scale as before:

Measure the distance to the edge:

but it is not possible to inset by that dimension:

So instead, draw things up in profile:

and model to that height:

Edit the model to match:

(though note that the model no longer matches the specified dimension)

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

Copy the perimeter outline into the top half:

and model to the full height:

Apply

Then draw the inner perimeter:

Then use this geometry to try to model the interior of the bowl:

and check where the model is:

and adjust based on that.

Drawing up in profile we get:

Adjusting a bit:

then tracing we get:

which looks to fit within the outline.

Then model this as an equal thickness:
