Title: 3d Keyfobs
Post by: Kai on December 10, 2010, 10:11:03 AM

I am very new to this and have only had my machines a short while but I have been asked if I can make keyfobs with pictures in 3d on them  kids pets etc.
I am not sure where or how to start. I have solidworks and solid cam and a denford starmill. the fobs only want to be about 50x40mm and a base of around2-3mm.
Is it possible to do this and where would one start with this project would I need other software?

Please help if you can as I have a few people who would like stuff doing for christmas and the wife keeps dropping me in it by saying of course he can lol.
