Looking for help extruding 2D art designs into 3D for CNC cutting

[rmath]

I am looking for someone that can take a 2D design and extrude it in 3D, ready for cutting on a 5 axis CNC machine. The design is very simple. We are carving a font (words 4-8 characters long) into 5"x2"x3/8" pieces of wood. The trick is to have the font angle cut into the wood and come to a point at the bottom of the cut (V shape cut). Another difficulty is that the font is a calligraphy type font, making it a bit more difficult to get the angle cut just right. Please contact me if you think you can help. We have a total of 8 designs. Thank you.

I would lay your font out the way you like and use the engrave toolpath. Your tool would have the angle you would like to have for the v shape. Then project the toolpath onto the surface. I sent you a example and I hope this helps.

Thanks for all the help thus far. A user recommended using Vectric software. Anyone here have experience with VCarve Pro?

You can download trial version. Try it, very easy to use!

"This download includes the VCarve Pro program along with the Getting Started guide, Help file and Tutorial files. "

VCarve Pro is great. If you have the money I'd buy Aspire instead. Both have trial versions. Try them and you'll like them. Nothing faster or easier that I've seen.
