STL File to Carving

Edit: Hah, beaten by @Julien
MeshCAM does a pretty good job of importing in stl’s and helping generate tool paths.
I think fenrus (pretty sure), generated a tool to help create a greyscale image from an stl so you can import that into carbide create.

I will say some geometries with carving can make things complicated. I’ve done a bunch of 2 sided machining, and have worked on a jig to do 4 sided machining, but this requires different setups in fusion and can be a bit complex. Though there is a video where Winston goes through the process:

2 sided contest thread also might be a good place to look:
