Creating an Embossing

Use Embossing to deform one or several layers through mechanical force, and leave a relief on the layers. As with the mechanical bond, the embossing process links the layers together.

  1. Optional: Replace the default name Embossing.n with a more significant one.
  2. Select the layer from which the embossing starts, and the layer where it ends.
  3. If you have selected the same layer as From and as To, specify the direction as Descending or Ascending.
  4. Define the Area by a sketch or a symmetry.
  5. Define the Geometries of one or several Embossing Profiles. For each profile
    • Either create a sketch.
    • Or create a pattern from a predefined empty sketch. The geometry is aggregated under the layer, inside a dedicated node.
    • Or create a symmetry.
    1. Pick a color.
    2. Enter the Extrusion length.
