Are you trying to do 3D carving on wood or just cutting out the shape?Hello i am wanting to make a router jig to do ribbons on some wood work like the crohns ribbon or aid ribbon what is best to make this with?
In the UK Trend sells it.Interesting system but a quick Google search doesn't yield much, at least not much in the USA.
3D pantograph manual copying of a carved model (or molded sample or CNC made sample) is another "way to skin the cat".Andy, in spite of all my years routing, I can't see any way to make a template for this purpose. A CNC router is the only way that I can think of.

The problems with the 3D carver system are: one can only use the listed templates and without a CNC router I see no way to make the templates because the cut-outs have to vary in width for the cone to rise and fall.I think I agree with Harry. The 3 D Carver system is available here though not extremely popular. Jessem also sold it but I think it was a rebadged CMT. It's made for doing this: Systems and accessories-3D Router Carver system-CMT tools where the tip of the vee bit rises and falls as the bearing cone rises and drops in the template. It wouldn't gradually slope off to one side which is what the ribbon does.
