Text to curve surface

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how to make a template in signblazer so that when i apply it to the surface of the tumblers i make the text will come out straight instead of curving up?

The best way I have ever found is to make a paper template by hand and then scanning it in. Take a piece of paper and wrap it around the tumbler and then draw a straight line top and bottom and when you unwrap the paper it will have the proper curve to negate the curve of the glass. There are mathematical ways of doing it but this way is faster.

Seems like there is a spreadsheet on the forums someplace with all the calculations. I'll see if I can find it, if not, I do have one at home I can post.
