Hello, more violins..
A new 4 string I made in maple and cocobolo. The violin is semi acoustic, The parts started out in Lightwave 3D then carved on the Carveright wood working system.

I Cut this the other day as my second attempt at 3D. I have had my PRS Standard for about 6 months now but I haven't had a reason to cut any 3D files yet.
The file came from Vector Art 3D, and was cam'd using CUT 3D. The depth was scaled from about .75" to 1.25", and cut out from 8/4 cherry.
The details.
Z Level roughing 1/4" down spiral. 2 IPS
Cut time was about an hour.
Finishing - 1/8" tapered ball mill, (xy) 2 ips, (Z) 1 ips. 6% Step-over,
Rastering with the grain along the X axis.
Cut time - Roughly 4.5 hours.
Cut out - 1/2" strait bit (left about .1", and cut the rest out with a laminate trimmer).
I changed the ramp values to those suggested by Brady Watson in a few different threads on talk shopbot and they worked very nicely. The information I have found on this forum, and shopbot's related to 3D have been extremely helpful.
I have not sanded the carving yet, but the results were nice. At arms length you don't see any lines or fuzz. I am pretty impressed with the results, and now I am hooked on the idea of 3D machining. I will be cutting allot more 3D to build up a portfolio.
The burning on the cutout was from a bad bearing on the flush trim bit I used to cut the piece out. I left about a .1 skin on the cutout tool path.

Gene that looks great. Good job.
Hope all is well

Very nice Gene.
I am assuming Aspire for file generation. Did you make the 3D relief file and the toolpath or just the tool path? Also, which way did you machine across the grain or with grain? And of course, how long?
Once again, nice job.

Thanks for the comment Joey...especially since this was cut on a "blue" machine. I am now "Friends of the Creek" so I will need you to do a big favor for us come the 5th of July...after we win the drawing for the Stinger it will need to be crated very well cause it's a long way from Calhoun to San Jose del Cabo
Guy,
I set the tool path only. .320 deep each side 9% stepover .25 ballnose raster in X with the grain 6:45 hrs finish pass only, no rough minimal sanding needed. I will cut panel to size, put in a ply box to run in shaper for the .25 tounge that sits in the stile/rails of the door frame.
Thanks for the comments

Hope all is well looks like you are busy!!

I'm not a seasoned cabinet maker so it looks to me like he's got it!

Here is an urn I made this winter, from walnut.
The box joints were cut on the Table saw, and panels for the top/bottom were raised on the router table. The carving/engraving were done on the shopbot, and drawn in V-Carve.
