In this CNC project, I’ll show you how to model and machine a modern house number plate step by step using aluminum composite panel (ACP), such as Dibond ar Alucubond. From design in FreeCAD to generating toolpaths and machining, you'll see the complete process to make a clean, professional-looking house number sign.
You’ll see the entire process in FreeCAD – from 2D sketching and 3D modeling to CAM toolpath creation, G-code export, and real CNC machining in Aluminum Composite Panel.

CNC Workflow Covered in This Tutorial:
FreeCAD 2D design and constraints for a sign plate
Turning sketches into 3D models with material thickness
Adding and pocketing text for CNC machining
Creating slots, holes, and mounting features
CAM setup: feeds, speeds, post processor, origin
Pocket, helix, and profile operations for G-code toolpaths
Exporting to CNC and real milling footage
Solving toolpath issues when modifying text in FreeCAD
