A few weeks ago, it was my son’s birthday party. I decided it would be pretty cool to CNC carve each guest’s name into a puck, to include in the loot bags. It was pretty trivial to set up a template for hockey pucks (they’re 3″ round, and an inch thick, by the way), and to create a design for each guest in Vectric V-Carve pro. I created a single file, with each name on a separate layer, then simply created all the .NC files one after another.

The pucks turned out really well – the rubber is very easy to carve, as you can imagine, and the pucks were really well received by the kids.
