My first finished product produced with a PocketNC.
It is basically a more limited approach to CNC,
as my original test model quickly reached the limitations of my
combined hardware, software, geometry choices.

I thought I was picking a simple shape, my Duael Designs Logo,
which is a 3D yin & yang-esque swirl.
However, after many attempts, and help from Autodesk Fusion360 customer support,
this geometry currently exceeds the ability of the code to "get under" the lip.
Figuring its just a matter of time until this changes, I altered my approach to objects that are flatter,
like a coin, and would allow me to concentrate on the other learning curves of CNC milling.
One limitation at the time I acquired this software was that I needed to convert my geometry to T-Spline geometry in Fusion360 before I could generate the cutting paths with CAM.
The conversion from a ZBrush exported .stl files was problematic at best.
As of May '17, you can now import stl files directly in Fusion360's CAM
Machinable Wax was used. It's a great alternative to metal of wood, its easy on your tools
and it can be used in the "Lost Wax" process.
This will be used to create a mold for soap.
