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 mother bear and her mate stand watch over two cubs, the whole family gathered in a high mountain meadow with snow-capped peaks rising behind them. You can almost feel the cold pine air. Carved in wood, the fur catches the light in a way that makes the whole scene feel alive, the kind of piece that stops people mid-step when they walk past it. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean carving. The depth is layered well, foreground bears reading sharp against the receding forest and ridgelines, so your toolpaths stay crisp and the shadows do real work. It is ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs nicely on a CNC router or a resin 3D printer. For the best result, rough it out with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then come back with a 3mm ball nose at a tight 10 percent stepover to pull out the fur strands, the pine needles, and the rocky texture in the foreground. Finished, it makes a striking wall panel, a cabin plaque, a lodge sign, or a gift for anyone who loves the backcountry and the animals that live there. This is an instant digital download, so you can be cutting test passes within the hour. Commercial use is included, which means you are free to carve this one for yourself, batch it for craft shows, or sell finished pieces in your own shop. Add it to your library, load it up, and let the chips fly.

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.
