Stempel Bergfest

Short explanation on how to make stamps out of EVA-Foam:

First, the design should be made as a vector-graphic. This could be done in Powerpoint, Illustrator or Inkscape (any software that exports in .ai, .svg, or .pdf).

I'm using Inkscape as an example:

The dimensions should be to scale.

In the next step we mirror the design (horizontal or vertical):

In order to engrave the space between the letters, we have to duplicate the box and subtract the text from it. Select the box, then shift select the text and hit "Strg + -" (Pfad --> Differenz) I gave it a blue fill color for engraving. I made the outline red for cutting.

Then we go to file --> Save as... and choose with the default settings.

In RDWorks we can import with "File --> Import". Make sure that the dimensions are correct by selecting everything and comparing it to the bounding box size in Inkscape.

These are the settings I used for engraving and cutting:

The final result should look like this:
