I'm looking for a font for Tole laser cutting.

Which one do you use?

I searched on http://www.dafont.com/fr  but I couldn't find anything transcendent.

I stay basic with arial or mail for fine engravings

otherwise what goes well is the vomzon in the round style and the ethnocentric (the one of my logo)

 

I like the electrofield which is a bit Star Trek

Hello

Did you see this page? http://www.dafont.com/fr/theme.php?cat=114 it's the Army section :/

From memory, I've already used the GunPlay. The Accent Euro Stencilia looks pretty good too.

I'm looking for a font that doesn't hollow out the letters  like in the attached screenshot

And in the previous link you can't find what you are looking for?

If you want to respect the police and since you only have to do it once, you could make ties by hand.

Since Solidworks 2013, there has been a special font for laser cutting, it is called

OLFSimpleSansOC, it is integrated with SW.

 

I use it every time I need to do a laser marking or cutting.

Otherwise, in some particular project, I use the lettering that the client wants, and I modify it a little so that there are no letter scraps.

Hi all

"Stencil style" fonts can be used for laser cutting, you can find quite a few of them on the net, a few examples:

Hello

From memory, I used the TC Laser font without when I was in the laser cut.

So I think it's the Arial Rounded font

Why bother, when the one integrated in SW works very well =)

Thank you all, after several tests I think I'll opt for the font:

GUNPLAY

(http://www.dafont.com/fr/search.php?q=gunplay)

It is the one that seems to me to be the most suitable.

Hello

I know that this topic has been around for 6 years but I would like to go further in the subject and it's a good basis. I tried the fonts offered as a solution for laser cutting such as Stencilia or gunplay but the curves bothered hundreds of small segments which overloads the program if there is a lot of text to engrave. For example, for 7 references of parts (of about ten characters) to be cut on a sheet of metal I had more than 8000 stitches to process! Would anyone have found a font that is compatible with laser cutting but with a minimum of lines?
The solidworks font: OLFSimpleSansOC is good for engravings  but not for cutting.

Hello Timothée,

For my part, I use the TC Laser typeface without, and it works very well!

Kind regards.

Hello, to reduce the programmed steps and in general delete all the micro lines and arcs I trace all the letters under an Autocad like with large arcs. It's a boring job but once it's done for a letter you don't come back to it anymore and store it in a separate file with all the other letters. All that remains is to replace the curved version with the bow version.

Also knowing that some letters are online only according to the font.

We can also change the scale without any problem.

Even though CAD/CAM software usually has a spline to arc conversion, it still generates the micro arc/line.

If I don't do that, I have a risk of having a machine error of the "incoherent circle" type, not to mention as you say a long program.

Thank you for your answers.
 contact_168 and ac cobra 427: I tried the font you propose "TC laser without" but the result is the same

FUZ3D : Thanks for the trick, that's pretty much what our laserist is forced to do when he programs except that he doesn't keep the letters and that he systematically redoes everything (but on the laser software). so when there is too much text he comes to take his nerves out on me^^

Otherwise, instead of storing them, dimensioning them and replacing the letters each time, we should be able to save the traced letters in a new font. (but I don't know how to do it and I don't even know if it's possible)

Yesterday I thought of a digital font like the old electronic alarm clocks of this type :  digital-7 font

The problem is that the spaces between the sticks are very small and I think it won't work for the cutting :-/

There must be a simplified font for laser cutting, I'm surprised it's so hard to find  8z
