Sweet! Is that Solidworks?
Yes it is. I actually prefer Autodesk Inventor, but SW is what I have available through work. I must admit it's growing on me, it works pretty darn good.
I used Mastercam to create mine although all the models that I program at work on MC are imported from Solidworks.
I like your knurled edge. After seeing yours I got the idea to "cheat" mine with just lines.
Also I like how you embossed rather than engraved. I actually thought about that after I machined mine. (20/20 hindsight, lol)
Weird thing is, I found that after polishing, when I hold the coin up at a certain angle in the light, my brain
actually interprets the engraving as raised embossed letters.
Good luck with your creation.Cool stuff.
MC is by far my favorite CAM package. It's been a while since I've programmed CNC on a daily basis, these days I'm working with plastic injection molds, and mostly on the design side. That's probably why I defaulted towards the "embossed" design vs. the relieved cuts. Half dozen in one, six in the other. I like the physical aspects of yours vs. the virtual aspects of mine. I have manual machines at home (Monarch 10ee and a Bridgeport,) but I can't justify using the CNCs at work for G-Jobs. Despite all of my years of experience the tool room guys still freak out when they see an engineer touching the machines, lol.
