Embedded Files
This is a nameplate that I made with the CNC Machine. It was designed in Fusion 360 and then exported from Fusion to the CNC. After it was cut out I spray painted it a matte black. Once it was dry, I taped lines where I wanted it to stay black. After taping I sprayed it purple. Once it was dry I took off the tape and I was left with the final result.

This is a picture of my nameplate right after it was cut out. As you can see the router bit did not cut fully through the wood. This made me have to do touchup with tiny files to get it to its final shape.

This is a picture of the other nameplate after I touched it up. As you can see, I also spray painted it matte black. After this I taped lined where I wanted the black to stay.

This is a picture of the nameplate after it was taped and spray painted purple. The painters tape that I used was not the best and left the lines messy after I peeled up the tape.
This is the final product. As you can see the lines aren't super exact because of the tape that I mentioned. Im still pleases with the end look though and I honestly think it looks pretty cool.
One thing that went well during this project was the designing of the nameplate. It ended up being about 15 inches in width and 3 inches tall. I very happy with the overall look of the nameplate. A challenge that I faced during this project was having to use the small files to clean up the edges. The outside ones were pretty easy to do because I used the router table. I think that if I ended up redoing this project, I would double check by base height to make sure that the CNC would cut through the whole piece of wood.
