Making a guitar bridge for Carbide Create Pro

as requested on support… Given a file in Carbide Create which describes a guitar bridge: [image] there are a couple of different ways which this part could be made: draw up contour geometry and assign toolpaths to appropriate depths (note that this does not require Carbide Create Pro): Spoon Possible without CC Pro? model the design in a traditional CAD tool, export it as an STL and then import that STL into Carbide Create Pro and then cut that 3D model using Carbide Create Pro: Instru…

Creating a project from an STL file

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…
