hello , I have recently bought a 3 axis cnc machine and i could make female brass dies for foil embossing dies , I used artcam and it worked fine
but i have a problem regarding the male die , i make the male die by inverting the relief horizontally and then in the z axis , afterwards i added an offset value to the relief about 0.22 m for 200 gsm paper ( i dont know if this value is correct or not ) . finally i have a foil embossing die for paper and it works but the finish on paper isnt satisfactory because some small areas arent foiled and these areas are dispersed all over the design
some questions are on my mind need answering :
1 - i make the male die out of acrylic and is this correct ?
2 - is the offset value for 200 gsm paper i used correct ?
3 - i heard about plastic boards for making male dies just by press
Are you stretching, compressing, folding the metal int he die?
Send a picture of the parts and die for analysis.
Are these the notary dies type ? foil on paper?
There are no problems which cannot be solved.
