Thread: Scale Patterns

Hi,
I got these patterns off the Internet.


Bdd-chasses.pdf
On the site they scan the razor blade into the computer then cut the style of scale they want then overlay the the blade onto the scale pattern the resize the scale pattern to fit the razor. Once the scale is the correct size they print it out and the cut out the scale on their chosen material. All of this is done in a program. Does anyone know what program I can get to do this?

Thanks,

Just print out the design you want and make the adjustment you need.

If you are thinking of router or CNC, those files are in raster scan and need a lot of work to be used in a CAD system.
Chevhead has the right of it, Been doing that for years!
Have fun!

Yep,print then at 1:1 scale they are all good I have printed them on overhead plastic makes them easier to look at you blade with them on it

I use Corel draw then convert them to a .svg , that way you can make them any size or modify the shape the way you want.

I scanned them into Adobe Illustrator, used the line art tools to convert the image lines into vector lines. Once you get the images into vector format you can dump it into any CAD/CAM software for use with a CNC machine, laser cutter, whatever..
