g3ellis Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 A long time ago, I used A:M for titling and some minor add-ons to video projects. I have a multi-media idea and think I can use the cricut for making a mold. I am talking 5-10mm in size. With the text to object feature, I can do personalized things. It is a challenge. I want cricut instead of a 3d printer because I can use a soluble mold. I do gemstone composites and have an idea. Sorry, no like to an example as FB url or non-https are not allowed.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 1, 2022 Hash Fellow Share Posted March 1, 2022 I had not heard of CriCut before this. So it's like a 2D cutter? Hmmm. What sort of files does it take as input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g3ellis Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 CriCut takes .jpg, .gif, .png, .bmp, .svg, or .dxf. I am pretty sure it will work. I was just wondering. Oh, and figured out that my ISP automatically allows https, so here is a picture of a composite. I am now doing layers and my latest represents the US flag. Very simple one.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 1, 2022 Hash Fellow Share Posted March 1, 2022 If a 2D image file like JPG or PNG will work... how about rendering out cross sections of your model? A:M can export a DXF but there seems to be some difference between a DXF that defines 3D shapes and a DXF that makes 2D images for a vector program and I did not have success importing an A:M DXF into a program like Adobe Illustrator. Welcome back to A:M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g3ellis Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 I updated my web page to get the more complex. Layers... So I plan to see if I can create a mold and introduce features using my adhesive and additives like UV powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
