All the files I created to make a sphere on the CNC machine, with two curved inlays: one side looks like an eight ball, and the other has an eagle inlay.

These are the companion files for the video on how to do Curved Inlays: https://youtu.be/aAw58CeuCPs

Also watch the original video on how to do inlays with Fusion: https://youtu.be/Wb93CZbNeWs

Download the VCarve/Inlay Plugin for Autodesk Fusion 360.

Feeds / speeds / tool heights: Be sure to run simulations to ensure you don’t get any collisions! Change the feeds and speeds to be appropriate for your bits and CNC router. I have an Avid CNC with Nema 34 stepper motors, and a 5 HP ATC spindle.

Included in the download (zipped):

8 Ball – No Work Offsets.f3d – The main Autodesk Fusion 360 file; I removed my work offsets.
eagle 2.dxf – The eagle vector file, exported from Illustrator as a DXF
Sphere Starting Point.f3d – The starting point file of just the sphere (including CAM).

The photos are from the sphere I created out of walnut with a maple and cherry inlay.
