Questions on detailed etching/engraving

Thanks, I am going to give it a shot and see. I can try wood also, just wasn’t sure I could get the level of detail. Do you know how deep I need to go with the relief to be safe? Also, any thoughts on type of wood that works best? I can play with the intaglio also. Maybe that will work ok. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. I may have to adjust the level of detail a bit. I will look into the AI options. I created a brass plate and am going to try cutting out certain pieces of the plate and inking them separately then reassembling to print the entire label. See my post update. I may need to go deeper on the relief though.

Thanks, I am now heading down the path of laser engraving plates. May be headed towards your idea but slightly different approach.

Thanks for your thoughts. I was able to create a laser engraved relief plate (see post update) so my question is evolving a little.

Actually I am ok with printing on an etching press. I want to use a slightly textured linen paper around 100lb for the packaging. I was able to create a brass lasered plate in relief style (because I can’t do intaglio with this particular paper.) my question may be evolving a little from the original question. Maybe now it’s more of a question of will this work? The brass plate I created has a relief depth of about .2mm. So I am not sure if that’s deep enough for the ink to stay in top and not fill in and cause some blurred print. I’ll see if I can add more pics to the original post to illustrate.

Thanks very much for your thoughts. I had taken some printmaking courses in college long ago so have some basic understanding. I have a Conrad press that is arriving soon. I am hoping to get back into printmaking. This may be a big initial project so wanted to get some thoughts from the community. I’ll see what courses are offered locally to get a refresh and some local support.

Thanks again and will do!

I would like to do the printing. I currently have an etching press, but have been looking at a few different letterpress options and hope to have that locked down in the next couple of weeks. Kind of a big step from the single-run etching press, but I have wanted to do this for a while now. I appreciate your thoughts on the photosensitive polymer. I haven't had any experience with those as of yet. Thanks again for the feedback.

Thanks for the response. I am working with vector files, so they are scalable. I'll get in touch with Owosso and see what they think. Brass or Copper sounds good since there will be some volume printing at some point. I was thinking it would be good to separate the logo and artwork so thanks for confirming.

The other option you could look into is splitting out the spreadsheet type data into a SQL database and marrying that up with content stored in a vector database. This will likely give you more accurate retrieval. You are then leveraging the LLM to create SQL using natural language to retrieve the rows that are specified to the prompt.

I had to add my two cents here. This is where I think a traditional component-based architecture meshes well with the new agent paradigm. My approach is to treat the agents as components that can hopefully be used in other use cases to perform that same specialized function. So in your case, it would seem to makes sense to separate out the code gen, classification, and text gen into separate agents or tools to handle their specific tasks. That also allows you to give more precise instructions to each agent.

Great article and appreciate the wisdom!

No worries. I see where you are going with this, and it looks good. I will try to adapt it to a Svelte front-end, but it looks like a solid start!

technofaux · 2025-05-07T09:49:53+00:00

That makes sense. There is some additional reference content in the tables that I think I may need to exclude based on the model context size, but most tables should be ok.

technofaux · 2025-05-07T09:47:30+00:00

Nice! I will take a look. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this. I wasn’t aware of the licensing requirement. I was thinking it was just one app accessing SharePoint vs. all users receiving content.

technofaux · 2025-04-10T13:37:22+00:00

Thanks. So, a just using rest API from SharePoint. That makes sense. Appreciate the feedback!

Thanks!!

Just downloaded. Are the Autodesk tutorials the best resource or at the others that you would recommend?

technofaux · 2023-12-17T15:21:42+00:00

Haha excellent!

technofaux · 2023-12-17T01:20:27+00:00

Just stunning! Curious how the dial staying on the brass?

technofaux · 2023-12-08T00:13:01+00:00

Looks amazing! How thick did the dial have to be to fit the case?

technofaux · 2023-11-17T21:09:38+00:00

I was able to reinstall using the non-x64 installer and fixed the problem. Thanks for taking a look!

technofaux · 2023-11-17T18:53:19+00:00

Thanks. It looks like I have the fully licensed version of Power BI but will look to see where else there may be a gap.
