Hi All,
Has anyone ever produced a slate-like texture?
I need to make a mould in rigid styrofoam to cast drink coasters as a promotional hand out with the customer's info on it.
He would like them to look like slate if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Scott

Could be done with a 3d toolpath. Not sure how you'd do it with a 2d though.

What software are you using?

Ken,
That sample is perfect! How did you make it?

I haven't ventured into 3D software yet. I made the first cuts on my new Bot last weekend.
I am using AutoCAD, PartWorks and PartWorks3D.
I could bring a 3D model into PartWorks couldn't I?
I would be happy to pay for a 3D model if you are interested.

Thanks,
Scott
