Bumper Letters

[Black 05]

Hi
I have a wire EDM machine. Can you send me the .dxf or .dwg file?

I finally got around to taking a picture of my rear bumper with the camera flash illuminating the white reflective tape that I put in the rear bumper HUMMER lettering indents.

There is no outside lighting here, it is all from the camera flash. Those letters really stand out, which looks good (IMO), day or night, on my white H2. And that glowing look happens from any angle that the light comes from, because of the reflective nature of the tape.

Chuck,

If you weren't so adept at drudging up old threads as well as blinded by your own *******ness you would get this.

Go back and read the thread and you will understand why Black05 posted what he posted, since I don't think anyone here is interested in your cut-n-paste reflecto-tape.

****, if you are going to bring old threads back to life at least read them.

There is a guy on ebay that sells the bumper letters in vinyl. Dont know if this helps you, I remember the cost being @ $25.

Hummer Man, where did you find or how did you figure out the font? Would of saved me a pile of time measuring. Is there 2 types of bumpers as mentioned by Easy Ed?

Autocad, G-code, DXF, Mechanical Desktop...
These are all engineering programs and are used
for CNC machines and EDM cutters. Can be used on laser cutters and flame cutters also. They are not great for viewing.

Paragon, I don't understand your volatility, your immediate need to start name calling and cursing. Have you ever seen a therapist? I think you may have anger management issues. Do you often drive with this anger? Please calm down. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>My post had as much volatility as a ant fart. Where did you get anger from my post? Why is it that pointing out the obvious is seen as angry? I apologize if my cursing offended your delicate sense of self........****!

Who are you addressing that to?

A "wire EDM machine" appears to be a Wire EDM (electrical discharge machining) which uses an electrically energized thin brass wire to slice through metal - including difficult-to-machine metals.

The compatible materials are: Steel, super alloys, titanium, aluminum, brass, and most metals.
I don't see TAPE mentioned. My guess anything like these plastic tapes might catch fire in a Computer Aided Machine (CAM) as this.

As for those file types or formats, I have found,
DXF = AutoDesk Drawing Interchange Format
DWG = AutoCAD drawing

Who here has said anything about any CAD program?

Now, if you were talking to me, I have no files regarding the letters I cut out. I just put the reflective tape in the indents and used an Xacto blade to cut to the edges of the letters. It took about an hour for all the letters, taking my time.

Max, I haven't been in autocad for a while but can u export out of AC to an .igs file.
If not i'll need a .dxf file.
I'll PM my email address.

Hey Max:

If you sent it to me I must have deleted it thinking it was a bad e-mail...sorry.

Could you send it to eric.d.hines@uasce.army.mil this time?

max, Thanks for the .dwg's. I plotted them out to full scale and will take scissors to them and see how they fit on the bumper, (just to double check) and then send the .dwg's out to a vendor who owes me a favor

Thanks again
