The aspire project is similar to the original in several ways but redesigned to be a bit smaller.
Now you are ready to install the acrylic panel and turn on the lights.
The first demo uses aspire s texturing toolpath and doesn t require that.
3d wall panel post by mike s thu jan 15 2015 10 54 pm i don t know what your material is nor your machine but you may want to experiment with bit size depth of cut cut speed rapids z height and plunge speed.
In this video we demonstrate three different methods for creating a textured panel.
The whole panel took about an hour to cut but the design time was trial and error and took me a few days to get it down.
Aspire also allows you to smooth a 3d object or to add draft which creates angled walls on the part good for vacuum forms.
I used a 2 ballnose.
The panel is made from 2 hdu and is roughly 38 x120 all done using 2d toolpaths.
Some lines also used the fluting toolpath.

The acrylic panel is in truth fairly simple for just about anyone to make and a nice gift for any occasion.
The back has two keyhole slots that provide a convenient method to securely hang the shelf unit on your wall.
