Cutting it
Stock: at the supplied size you need about 55 mm (2.2") thick material for the full depth plus a base. For thinner stock, scale Z on its own to 18 to 22 mm: bas-relief reads beautifully compressed.
Small machine? On a 400 x 400 mm bed scale it to about 380 mm wide (393 mm tall) and set the depth separately.
Bits: 1/8" (3.175 mm) flat end mill to rough at 1 to 1.5 mm a pass Β· 1/8" ball nose to finish at 8 to 10% stepover Β· 1/16" tapered ball nose for the finest areas only.
Wood: basswood, poplar, cherry or hard maple hold this detail. Avoid red oak and ash: open grain tears out exactly where the fine work lives.
Expect the finishing pass to take hours at this detail level; that is normal. Cut a 200 mm test in scrap first if it is your first relief.

Opens directly in Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM and Fusion 360, and on any CNC router, 3D printer or laser that reads STL. No OBJ or DXF: a DXF holds flat 2D outlines and cannot carry a three-dimensional relief at all. 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.
