Estimates for a mid-size hobby machine (Shapeoko, X-Carve, Onefinity class). Scaling all three axes together keeps the depth in proportion; for thinner stock scale Z on its own. Hardwoods with fine grain (cherry, hard maple, walnut, basswood) hold this detail best. Check your exact setup in Will it cut, free, nothing uploaded.

How we estimate carve time

Finishing is one raster pass over the whole carving with the ball nose shown, at 10% stepover and half of a 1,800 mm/min (71 in/min) feed. Roughing assumes about 45% of the block above the base is waste, cleared with the end mill shown at 40% stepover and 3 mm per pass (1.5 mm for the 1/8 in end mill) at the full feed. The model leaves out acceleration, tool changes and moves between passes, so a real job usually takes somewhat longer. Times are rounded to 5 minutes.

Opens directly in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM and Fusion 360, and in any slicer for 3D printing. For a laser, the relief is first turned into a greyscale depth image, which our Laser Studio app does from this STL. STL only, no OBJ or DXF: the DXF files used in CNC work hold 2D outlines, not the 3D relief surface. Scale it to whatever panel you are cutting. Scaling all three axes together keeps the depth in proportion; scale Z on its own for a shallower carve. How to open it in your software.

About this design

A tri-color Aussie leans forward out of a carved woodland scene, paws crossed, eyes locked on you with that calm shepherd patience. The fur looks like it is mid-breeze, every strand pulling the light across the chest and ruff. Hang this one and it stops people in the room. It feels less like a panel and more like the dog is actually watching the door. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean machining. The Australian Shepherd sits inside a recessed frame of pine boughs and rough bark, so you get strong depth and real shadow contrast that pushes the subject forward. It is tested and ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it cuts well on a CNC router. You can also scale it for laser engraving or run it through a 3D printer if that is your tool. For wood, rough it out with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then drop to a 3mm ball nose at around 10 percent stepover for the finish pass. That combination keeps the fur crisp and the eyes sharp without chewing up your machine time. Great for wall art, cabin decor, pet memorial pieces, signs, and gifts for the dog person who has everything. You get an instant digital download with commercial use included, so carve it for your own walls or sell the finished pieces at your next show. Grab the file, load your toolpaths, and put this loyal Aussie into a slab of walnut or maple. Add it to your cart and start carving today.

Have a laser too?

Burn this design, or burn onto it

Laser Studio opens this STL with zero conversion and turns them into a ready-to-burn 3D-illusion engrave. Carving on your CNC instead? CNC Match lines up a name, a date or shading on a photo of the finished piece, so the laser burns right onto the carving.
