Cone Marking Without Rotary

Purpose

Cone marking is used for tapered cups, tumblers, trophy bases, funnels, conical tools and tapered industrial parts without rotary.

Recommended Workflow

  1. Create a cone model or import an STL.
  2. Adjust top diameter, bottom diameter and height to match the real object.
  3. Import the design.
  4. Ungroup and combine vectors if needed.
  5. Set hatch and laser parameters.
  6. Use 2D Graphical Mapping to 3D Model or axis projection depending on the part.
  7. Preview placement on the tapered surface.
  8. Mark in 3D mode.
Tip: Cone marking is more sensitive than cylinder marking because the diameter changes from top to bottom.
Check carefully:
  • Top diameter
  • Bottom diameter
  • Object height
  • Logo size
  • Projection direction
