Finally, back to the shop after a delightful time off helping my parent's business!
The parts came back in from anodizing the other day, so I got to run the final operations and assemble the model rocket!
Everything worked great, and the assembly only took a couple of minutes; I forgot to take pictures of the finished rocket. Still, it's basically a small rocket attached to a fueling port, sitting on a launchpad with the company logo. The anodizing came out, and I love the contrast between the dark blue and raw machined aluminum, really catches your eye!
Unfortunately, the rocket's engraving didn't turn out as nice and is a bit rough to the touch. I tried playing around with the height settings to see if I could touch the top surface to remove the color and nothing else. However, due to the sketch geometry I was referencing, I wasn't able to do this because it was a 3D surface and the only toolpath that would work is project one, where you reference a 2D sketch project onto another face.
Using the text's centerline would solve my problem, and I wouldn't have to worry about digging so deep into the material. But I'm not sure how to create a centerline from closed geometry. I have yet to check if my boss is alright for me to use another font style to project onto the rocket surface; the downside is that the text wouldn't be as sharp since it would only go down the middle of each letter and not contour them.
I looked around briefly online to see if there was a tool I perhaps glossed over, and from what it looks like, Autodesk has it in a future update due to the number of requests. But that's down the line and could be a long time before that comes out! In the meantime, I'm going to try using the text fonts provided in Fusion360 and take advantage of the centerline fonts.
