Probably a weird question but does anyone here know how to make a reverse lettering mold? My father in law dies a month ago and his marker won’t be ready for nearly six months to a year. I thought I’d carve a relief mold to pour concrete into to create a temp marker with his name and dates on it until the official one is delivered and installed. I can make the drawing in 2D but haven’t tried 3D yet. Anyone with the experience that wants to help I’m grateful for. I can design it in Photoshop and save as a tiff or pdf. I need a file to make it.
another option would be to 3d print the letters and then press it into the wet cement. If you don’t have access to a 3d printer I could give it a shot if you send me the design.
I do have a 3D printer. I also have Aspire which is a carving software. I’m just learning it. I’ll watch the video and see what they’re doing. If I can’t figure out the software, I’ll try the printer. Thanks
Aaron, you have surpassed my greatest expectations! Thanks for this. Perfect. I have one question. Did he create the drawings prior to bringing them into Aspire? It appears they were created as vector art and then uploaded. He didn’t show if he imported them or not. I’m guessing he did. Anyways, thank you again for your assist with something that’s been a difficult project. It looks easy now.
