7. Text Engraving
In this lesson, you will learn how to create text engraving on a part — a process that is quick and convenient in ENCY. We will engrave the text "ENCY" on a selected surface of the part and program its machining using a V-shaped cutter.
You will master:
- creating and positioning text in Model Space, including alignment, offset, and resizing;
- moving the text along the Z-axis using spatial transformations for precise placement on the desired surface;
- creating an engraving operation in 2D Engraving mode, utilizing the V-Carving function for deep and clear letter filling;
- setting top and bottom height levels according to the text placement on the part;
- simulating the result with a clear and clean visualized inscription.
This lesson will show you how easy it is to add personalized details and markings in NC, including names, serial numbers, or logos.
In the next video — the final machining stage: part flipping, milling the backside, and final touches. See you then!
