I'm trying to create G-code for a Pittsburgh Steeler logo. I have a jpeg of the logo but am having trouble doing anything with it. A few weeks ago I was able to create G-code of one but it is only about 1.25" round. I haven't tried to cut it yet so I don't know how well it is. I also don't remember what I used to convert it:devious:.

Any suggestions on how to convert a jpeg? Or to enlarge the one I already have? I'm sure I will lose much of the definition if I enlarge the current one.

I have Mach 3 and have access to Mastercam X5. I also have F-engrave.

Thanks.

If you have adobe ilustrator you can make it a vector to scale it up just trace it out I don't know about how to do any g codes... I hope this helps

I have axis to both X5 / X6 And Solid works I also work with a Prototrak SMC I will see what I can do for you in the next few days. If I come up with a solution I let you know.

Will one of these work?

We'll give it a try. I never messed with an eps file.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks.

It's really just the center section of 4 circles in a square..... Just draw it.

My artistry skills are pretty poor

Actually the 3 squares are odd shaped and there is also the font that is used. The link that bobsch posted looks pretty good. I haven't cut it yet but it looks good in Mastercam.

Actually, its an astroid http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroid not quite arcs, but close enough.

Ah, very cool. I missed that. Thanks for the correction!

Here I downloaded an svg of one and used inkscape to convert it to a dxf.
