![]() ![]() It was helpful but not exactly what I needed. I did find this reddit thread in my search for answers. I have a couple years of CAM experience as a mechanical engineer, but my background is with SolidWorks/MasterCAM, so I'm pretty new to Fusion 360. I'm using a stock Shapeoko 3 XXL and using Fusion 360 for CAD and CAM. I'd be satisfied with outlining the letters with the V bit then using a 1/16" or 1/32" flat end mill to pocket out the rest. ![]() Ideally, the cutter would plunge deep enough so that both sides of the cutter would would cut both sides of the letter at once (like a slot), but I don't know if that's feasible. ![]() A profile toolpath is used to cut around a shape or along a path. I considered trying one of the single line fonts and using machining on the line with a profile toolpath but I'm not too happy with the font choices. I tried 2D contour, pocket, and trace, but it seemed like tool compensation wasn't working right it just put the center of the cutter on the edge of the letters and so cut the letters wider than the should be. SINGLE LINE FONT FOR PROFILE TOOLPATH VECTRIC FREE In this case we will use a profile toolpath to cut our sign free from the board. My idea was to use a 60 degree V-bit ( this one) to follow the inside edges of the letters and get the small details. Each letter is about 1-1/4" high, so fairly large, but the font is kinda of fancy and so has some small features with as small as 0.020" gaps (see attached screenshot). I'm going to fill it with opaque colored epoxy, so depth doesn't matter, and the bottom of the letters don't need to be flat. I'd like to engrave some text with a particular font into some wood. ![]() I'm looking for some help with toolpaths in Fusion 360. TL DR: How do I create toolpaths in Fusion 360 to engrave letters with small details? ![]()
