Rounding a back of a guitar neck

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

This would be a very hard shape to model in Carbide Create Pro as of v8.

Is modeling in a 3D CAD program such as:

Alibre Workshop CAD/CAM

and then importing as an STL (or using a 3D CAM tool such as Workshop/MeshCAM) an option?

The most likely option would be something like to:

Spoon Possible without CC Pro?

I’d like to make a wooden spoon and was wondering if that’s possible to do with the standard CC? Can it be done with a bowl bit? I don’t have one but can pick one up. Thanks!

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]

If you have difficulties with this, upload a .c2d file with dimensions and profiles and we can walk through this with you.
