Grizzly Bear

[landscnc]

I am looking for a grizzly bear to etch on to a sheet of brass for a retirement gift for a long time employee. One with a fish in its mouth would be ideal. I dont have much luck using X4 rast to vector and the etching toolpaths so I thought if someone in mastercamland had something allready toolpathed it would save me a big headache. Thanks in advance.

Raster to vector Will work with some time cleaning up the entities....

 

I've used it a few times with decent success (depending on how clean your original image was).

My suggestion is if you have some extra time just play with the tolerances and options and I'm sure you'll come up with something decent.

 

I will say that I've always had to manually draw in arcs and lines to to complete the chain.

I have also had trouble drawing in arcs and lines. The picture blanks out when I click on end points. It is a real nightmare on the computer I am stuck with. Or is it a common occurance.

If your geometry is reasonably clean

after raster to vector conversion

Try opening up the chaining tolerannce and

writing contour toolpaths use tolpath filter

then save toolpaths as geometry

Ok what is this raster to vector thing and why is the info on mastercam help so vague about it? I assume when you open a file in Mastercam you have to open it differently? I can,t seem to find anything about this and it would be cool to play around with for my own personel stuff. Do you need the art package for mastercam to use this?
