Cutting Topographical Maps on the CNC Router

This blog post is primarily for my own notes. It's a work in progress. As my project progresses and I encounter more challenges, I will write about them here.

Process

1. Import map from Google Earth plugin on SketchUp
2. Geo-location → Add location
3. Select show terrain
4. Export from sketchup as a .3ds
5. Import on Rhino as “Component / 3D Model”
6. Set size
7. Set Toolpath
8. Cut “3D Rough Toolpath” first
9. Cut “3D Finishing Toolpath”
