Masking or Carving

[oddyseus]

Hello guyz, i'm a noobie in this forum. How can i achieve to make the logo in this picture?
Is it through masking or carving with laser? TQ 4 the inputs....

I've read you can do things like that by masking. Making a fine line might be a challenge.

Thx for the input bro....really appreciate it

That is engraved for sure. Look above the "c" in "racing". The cutter bounced a little ...see the little dots instead of a solid line. Something that small can't be masked. They didn't have the part centered in the machine I might add! See how the end runs off the side of the parts. Looks like a neck clamp or seat post clamp?

Later,

Laser engraving is an excelent way to reproduce those effects.

[Tim Wiltse]

It sure would! And laser engraving would give a better finish too.
