Hello, I almost exclusively cut parts with the Crossfire PRO. Now I wanted to cut an artsy project for my son’s classroom and I am not sure how to proceed. This is the logo I would like to cut: any suggestion? The level of detail is probably too much. What would you do? I would probably consider cutting this in some light gauge of steel and then have the kids spray-paint it or similar
What I am thinking is to open it in the InkScape program, and then more or less manually trace the logo to a low-ish level of detail, then export the DXF or whatever format is best suitable and import it in Fusion-360? Or is there a better workflow? I’m really clueless
Oh man, as you said, definitely too much detail. Especially the lower portion of the tree.
I think first thing I would try is just take it to Convertio.com and try converting your file straight to SVG and see what it looks like. The fact there are only two colors in the image you shared is a good thing for the conversion process.
Since you have the original, you will likely get better detail.
I inserted it into Fusion and bridged a few of the letters to the main body and it actually has potential. Should be a nice presentation. Good luck.
I just used small arcs of lines to reach down to the bottom and then used the trim tool to delete the segments that I needed gone.
Yes. Definitely something needs to be done with the top. I was just surprised that the tree gave the impression of the original image. I did not touch anything except those letters. Bottom of the y, p, r , e and the first s.
Here is what I did on the “S”
Original:
Added arcs:
Deleted what I didn’t want:
That second s should have a bit more support. It is really just barely hanging on.
That image is far from being ready because there are other elements that require some support/bridging. Just looking at that “S” that I bridged, this highlighted piece is just going to fall out or likely not be cut at all:
This would be one way to deal with that spot. Arcs added:
