Hey there. I am somewhat new to the mold making subject and have a couple of questions for a savvy guru.
I have 2 cnc router tables and want to start making molds for stone, my questions are:
I want to import some designs (.eps, .ai, .dxf, whatever format needed) into a cad program and change them so that our tables can do
3d carving on some MDF as needed to make molds. What program would I use so I can change the lines and curves to make a 3d design.Everything I look up for instance Rhino 3d seems to have tutorials on how to make 3d models like a mouse or face. I don't want to do that if you know what I'm saying. Any ideas on what program to use that would be leaning more towards the mold making 3d cutting??
What I'm trying to achieve is this. I would like to imort a graphic (line art) such as a palm tree or pineapple or so and make it 3D so that we can carve out around it so that it sticks out, not carve it into the wood.
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanx
