Milling About 

To create this design was a long but simple task. First I needed to import the dog tag outline from Google Classroom into Corel Draw. Next, I found the image I wanted to use by searching: soccer ball black and white clipart. I needed to remove the background of the image so I used a website that removed it for free.  I save the image and upload that as well into Corel Draw.  After I clicked Trace bit mat, then Logo which inverted the image so the white became black and vice versa. I also typed my name out and clicked Convert to Curves so the machine would not burn through the metal itself.  I made the thickness of both 0.5 and deleted the dog tag outline to complete the design. 

Unfortunately, I lost my video but I borrowed someone else's to give you an idea of the process it took. 

The only problems I had while milling this dog tag was trouble importing it into the Bantam  Milling software. The design wasn't showing up in google drive no matter what I tried. So I just emailed it to Gmail and used that and it worked. 

To create this simulation for the milling machine I had to follow these steps. I imported the Bantam tools library into Fusion 360, then I changed my browser type to Manufacturer. After I created a setup of the process where I changed all the necessary settings needed to create the design. Then I clicked 3D and adaptive Pocket where I could specifically choose how the machine would mill my design and I chose the tool I wished to use. After I created that I could view a simulation of the process as seen above. After this had to click on actions then Post Process where I could choose the type of machine i was using and export my design as a gcode to be used by the bigger milling machine 

The reason this machine is different than the smaller machine is because the soft-ware is preinstalled. Also it needs a different file from Fusion 360 instead of Corel draw. Infusion 360 you have to create a Cam file for thje machine to mill your material into the desired shape. 

The reason this is designed the way it is is for efficiency. The red lines mean that they will be scored so they can bend.  The black lines will be cut out. And Gary at the bottom will be engraved into the Cardstock. Every single line will have hairline thickness but to separate the two types of lines you need to separate by color. Gary's thickness can be anything except hairline and that is how he will be separated. The two boxes on the side of the box are squares so their width can match the bigger box's length.
