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 single tree spreads its canopy over a looping infinity knot woven from twisting vines, with layered mountains rolling along the bottom of the ring. It is the kind of carve that quiets a room. Catch raking light across the finished piece and the branches, leaf clusters, and braided vines throw soft shadows that make the whole panel feel alive. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for depth and clean reads. The round border, the knotwork, and the canopy are sculpted in layers so the toolpaths stay crisp and the shadows fall where you want them. It is ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, ArtCAM, and Fusion 360, and it runs well on a CNC router cutting hardwood, walnut, maple, or MDF, or on a resin or filament 3D printer for smaller plaques. For the cleanest result, hog out the waste with a 6mm end mill at a 40 percent stepover, then come back and finish with a 3mm ball nose at a 10 percent stepover to pull out the vine twists and tiny leaves. Scale it up and the texture only gets better. A light stain or paint wash sinks into the recesses and makes the canopy and mountain ridges pop. Use it for living room wall art, a meditation or yoga corner, boho and cottagecore decor, or an anniversary gift for someone who loves the woods. You get an instant digital download with commercial use included, so carve it, finish it, and sell what you make. Add it to your cart, send it to your machine, and have a meaningful round panel ready before the weekend.

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.
