How do I machine a concave shape

[pete]

Can someone advise how I would machine a concave shaped rectangle in Part Wizard, V-Carve Pro or Cut3D please.

To explain further - looking down at the top of the rectangle it is .75 wide and 4" long. Still looking down on the rectangle it is .375 deep in the middle and rises to surface level at both ends. I quess the question is how do I toolpath such a shape. I have a top and side view .eps attachment. The large XXXXX's in the top view of the rectangle is what needs to be machined out.

Thanks, Pete

I've sent Pete an .stl file of what I think he needs.

As we have discussed in private mail - that is exactly what I needed. Of course the missing element was the 3D modeling software that I needed to create the file (which you so kindly provided along with other valuable information).

I will give it a shot at cutting today.

Thanks again, Pete
