They have what you want. Give them a call.
There are dozens of different ones that people have made for Rhino, specifically using Grasshopper (free visual scripting add-on for Rhino). I've made a few that are now a bit out of date, but...
Do you have Enroute Wood or Wood Pro? Or if you have Wood, can you go to Wood Pro for that upgrade price you listed on your ad? Because if so, I'd say that is your best bet. The newest version of...
Don't drill with a down spiral.
Keep in mind that, due to acceleration, depending on the shape of your cuts, your machine might not ever get up to 'full feed speed' during a cut. Therefore you...
I've got rhino4 that should be able to do this. no problem. It can Unroll single curvature surfaces easily. If you have some surfaces that curve in 2 directions at once, you can still use the Smash...
I like it Gene.. I did something similar recently. Made wall panels using Rhinocam to calculate Vcarving using a 2" ballnose bit. :) I'll try to get a picture up soon.
yea, a single stroke font will look differently when actually cut depending on what bit you use. So for instance, all the state parks around here use some kindof single stroke font with a 3/8 bit...
yea, if you use a downcut spiral, be prepared for lots of edge cleanup.
I cut a lot of 3mm sintra. I have settled on using an 1/8" bit unless they absolutely have to have a slightly tighter inside corner. 1/8" spiral upcut O-flute and you'll cut all day long no...
actually, I mentioned p95 earlier, but Acrylite/plexiglas Satin Ice might be better choice.
never tried to backlight it, but P-95 acrylic might be a good choice. . it's very 'blurry'
hey Bob, as an aside, I made a Grasshopper definition (kind of like a script) for Rhino's free Grasshopper plugin that creates NACA 00xx profile curves with sliding inputs to adjust chord length and...
I've been working at a place that does thousands and thousands of plastic signs, PVC, acrylic, you name it. We use Matthews paint for everything plastic.
awesome work! If you're ever in St Louis, go to the City Museum and check out the original bank vault doors they have in there

Joe, I did the same thing on some large HDU letters for a sign company.. used a bigger stepover than I felt comfortable with and took them to their shop and was talking about how long it might take...

I like Belin tools.. my local plastics house sells their O-flute upcut spirals and they work well on Sintra.
mortise compression bit has a shorter upcut edge at the end of the bit. This can be utilized in a few ways.. if you are putting a shallow mortise or pocket, the upcut will be fully plunged and won't...
I don't know what you'll be looking for exactly, but since this is a shopbot forum, I'll assume you aren't looking for a $2,000,000 machining center.. so don't waste too much time staring at the...
sorry, not sure of freeware or other programs that will open/create/save 16 bit files, though they must exist. I have Photoshop and of course it does it with no problem. Of course, if a file is 8...
Artcam will definitely import and make a relief from a 16bit image. If I recall correctly, there are a few ways to import images and make reliefs from them, but only one way to correctly import...
thanks Jack, I actually cut prismatic letters to fit in the pocket, but once we saw it, we decided to just use the sign like this.. felt the prismatic letters made it too busy in this case.
hi Gene, if you have Rhino it's easy.. no idea how to in other programs. I took the main letter curves and copied them to -Z and shifted them, like I mentioned above. When you make a loft it gives...
I did something similar last year. Copied my curves down in the Z in Rhino by .5" and over some certain amount, then lofted them to give me the sloped effect. I offset and pocketed in the letters...
I have a Sutorbilt lobe blower, but it doesn't have the factory filter/mufflers. It is louder than an airplane without a muffler/silencer and the exhaust is very hot. But it works great.. gives me...
small red square reminds me of the Taliesin logo (Frank Lloyd Wright)
