Hey uvvvw,

I've been wondering all day, how do you account for inconsistencies in different eggs? I'm sure that various eggs are shaped a bit different than others.

Hi John,
The profiles of different eggs are indeed very different.
I have to scan the profile of each egg before the engraving.
I scan the profile of the egg through a mechanical probe, and get the point cloud file of the egg profile.
This point cloud file can be imported to the 3D software and then merged with the pattern that is going to be engraved.
But this method is not that efficient.
I wrote my program for this merge. And it is much more efficient.

The depth measurement and the cutting depth accuracy is extremely crucial,
especially for the character inscription.
If the inscription is too shallow, the character will be not clear.
If the inscription is too deep the egg shell between the character strokes will be damaged.
Like this one.
