Hello, i am Francesco an amateur sculpter from Italy. I would like to scan some of my works and mill them with a cnc router with 4 axis.

I read that the x61500 is capable of working on material of maximum 50mm when it is used with the 4th axis.

I'd like to know if is it possibile to obtain a result like this:

from it.

Because initially i was pointed versus 3d printing with filament, but my sculptures are made of wood, so it's preferable for me to mantain this kind of wood touch.


Thanks for your advice
Francesco

You probably could do it if you take it slow and the model is not more than 20-30 cm of height. I have the 4 axis and it is a bit flimsey. This machine would not be ideal for a production run of such models, but for hobby use it will be fine.

But the more relevant question is if you have any experience with 3d modelling and CAM. This is not to deter you by any means, just to remind you that there is quiet a step learning curve you have to overcome. Once on the other side, there is a world of opportunties
