Studio-N Report post Posted September 9, 2014 This is kind of an extension of my earlier thread about trying to make 3d stamps. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the expensive software so I can begin doing some real modeling (and be able to save them). this is the result of using a 3d model from woodworking that I got off ebay. I scaled it to 3" long. There are TONS of models available so I'm sure I'll find some useful ones while I'm learning to create my own. I still have some things to work out all over again like speed/power/depth on the laser but it sure is fun learning something new. Like before, it takes a lot of pressure for this so these aren't going to be hammer stamps unfortunately. It's been fun finding the CNC communities out there and it is really fun for me combining all these things together. Hopefully I'll get the cnc machine by years end and I can keep learning some things, Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Studio-N Report post Posted September 10, 2014 Well here are a few more experiments. Not everything is gold but it sure is fun learning. The celtic circle was rather unimpressive. It is rather flat looking. I'm sure I can just make a regular stamp and have it look the same and be usable as a hammer stamp. The rose and leaves came out great. It should be stampable. The Christmas tree had a good outcome and is stampable. The Jesus face came out more like the Shroud of Turin. I'll try some other models and come up with a good one. Despite that, this took a lot of pressure on the arbor press. The pit bull is just mean looking. Unfortunately, this takes a lot of pressure and would not make for a good hammer stamp.
