Billet Emblems Revisited (with pics)
 

I poured over the old thread where the guy was going to machine billet emblems...then the thread died. I own a couple VMC's so I figured I'd give it a shot! These are my own cad models and my first rough pass. I just need to part it off and make another with a finer 3D pass. Let me know what you think

Cool, this is just me but i'd like it to be flat as possible.

Nice. In to see what the finished product looks like.

Nice work!

:tup:

agree, would like it flatter IMO.

nvm, i misread what the op said

Very nice.

I want one that says "DATSUN". :)

Looking good!!

Nice job.

sub'd for final results!

One word...............Hot. Chalk me down when you get it ready for sale. Will you be offering front and rear replacements or just fronts? I can see these being powder coated or painted and opening up the door for some nice customization.

I actually like the angled edge in the middle of the Z. Looks great man, can't wait to see the finished product! :tup:

Looks good! You could also cut these from plate carbon fiber. I work in a machine shop, and in order to get the price down they would have to do a good ammount of these. A single one off piece could easily run you $150-$200 . If you wanted to get crazy, you could have them cut from titanium! That would be expensive!

What software are you using? I'm a professional CAD designer and some of those surfaces look really blocky. I could take a look at it for you and make some adjustments if you'd like.

It could just be the resolution of the passes but I think those fillets are really large. just my 2 cents.
