engraving logo
« on: February 21, 2007, 03:34:10 PM »
I just want to engrave our company logo on a brass plate...can I scan it and imput it to lazycam?  Do I have to redraw it in a cad program (which I don't have)?  It seems like such a simple thing, but I am very new at this.  Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Lois

It is better to convert the scanned image to vectors then it can be exported as a DXF file and loaded into lazycam.

Search google for scan2cad

That, my friend, is the answer...however...how do I convert it to vectors?  Do I need yet even more software?

Thanks ever so much for your time.

Go to the top of this page and select TOOLS, FREE CAD, there you will find lots of free software to do what you want to do.
