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 woman stares straight back at you, her face painted with old tribal marks, feathers crowning her hair. On one side a lion holds steady, on the other a wolf watches the shadows. There is a quiet strength to this piece that fills a room the moment it goes up on the wall. Carve it once and you will understand why people stop and look. This is a high-detail bas-relief STL built for clean machining. The depth reads beautifully across the face markings, the layered feathers, the beadwork at her throat, and the fur on both animals, so you get crisp shadow lines without a lot of sanding afterward. It is ready for Aspire, VCarve Pro, Carveco, and ArtCAM, and it runs well on a CNC router, a 3D printer, or a laser using a heightmap workflow. For a CNC carve, rough the panel with a 6mm end mill at 40 percent stepover, then drop to a 3mm ball nose at a tight 10 percent stepover to pull out the fine detail in the eyes, feathers, and tribal patterns. Scale it to whatever your stock allows, from a small plaque to a bold centerpiece panel. Walnut, maple, and oak all suit the rustic, spiritual mood of this one. This is an instant digital download, and commercial use is included. Carve it for your own wall, build it into a feature panel, or sell finished pieces at your next show. Add it to your cart, send it to your machine, and let the chips fly.

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.
