Hello,
I’m trying to work out how to emboss an image onto the teeth/surfaces of a cog/gear in Fusion 360.
The idea is that wet paper will pass through the gear mechanism, and as the cog rolls once across the paper it will create a faint embossed “ghost image” from the relief on the gear teeth.
I’ve attached an image of the Fusion 360 model and the image I want to emboss.
The problem is that the image needs to follow the actual tooth surfaces of the cog, not just wrap around a simple cylinder. I’m imagining that I somehow need to unwrap the gear/tooth surfaces, place the image onto the flattened version, then project or emboss it back onto the cog.
Is there a workable way to do this in Fusion 360? Or would this be better done in another program, then brought back into Fusion?
Any advice on the best workflow would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean
