Engrave on 3D Surface MC

1

This is not just simple lettering. Anyone have any tricks or Step by Steps to path a engraving tool to contour a 3d surface? Using MC?

In Fusion we could use a 3D Trace, if you had a multiaxis machine tool, there is a cool multi-axis toolpath that Fusion would use to keep tool perpendicular to surface. If your surfaces are mild as shown in your image, the 3D trace should work. (1) 3d Chamfer - Fusion 360 Tutorial - YouTube

Surely MC has something similar

Thanks I just don’t have fusion. Isn’t fusion an internet dependant system?
