Louis Lord 0 Posted January 24 Hello, Don't blame me please for a newbie question but is it possible to change the material of 3d model from bronze to brass? I need it for CNC metal milling, working on this 3d model (https://www.artec3d.com/3d-models/chinese-coin ) and have no idea how to do that. Really appreciate your help. Louis.

ammobake 22 Posted January 24 A quick google search also brought up a few youtube videos that might be helpful. I've, personally, never used Inventor but have used similar programs in the past like solidworks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKD4uQ1Ieto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_Mr-Pi4LwY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lazer 0 Posted February 2 There are two ways to do this. 1st is set the colour this does exactly what is says on the tin it just changes the colour shown in the 1st link ammobake posted. The 2nd way in the 2nd link ammobake posted changes the properties of the model so it performs as a real material. It can be use to calculate the weight of an object or for running F.E.A calculation.
