Emboss logo straight on cone shaped object

Hello there,

 

I am not able to find a solution to my problem. I have a slight conical shape object where I want to project my logo on without bending it around like a sticker. I have seen some smart arcs for text, but my logo is not text. Can you please help me in getting my logo wrapped around a conical shaped object while it still appears straight? Attached is my Fusion file and screenshot of how it looks now using the emboss feature but is not straight.

 

Thanks a bunch!

Here is your model.  If you need help understanding what I did, just let me know and I will create a video.

Here is my workflow using Sheet Metal trick bending the logo into the correct arc-shape.
Hade to export and import back the logo.
If you want to move the logo up/down on the face you have to edit sketch "KL_trdesignlogo..."

Make Sketch15 Visible for centerline reference

And use Move on all sketchparts of the logo.

Thank you so much for taking your time to help out!!

 

On closer inspection it looks like the letters are not evenly sunken or raised on the base. If you find a quicker solution than the sheet metal diversion fix with same results I am all ears for it!

 

Thanks,

Timon

Thank you so much for taking your time to help!

 

It looks exactly as I would of liked it but was really hoping there was an easier way. Seems like F360 should add a feature to the emboss tool to fix this. Also, would you have time to explain what you did? I am not familiar with the sheet metal design tab..

this feature is currently in development.  I'm not certain exactly when it will appear.  But, you will be able to Emboss onto nearly any surface.

I made a keyboard entry mistake on my Emboss.  The model attached is corrected and should serve you needs.  The process is outlined in the video.

Thanks!! And thanks for the video! I am going to play around with this some more to see if I can make the text engraved in the body instead of sticking out.

To do that you can eliminate the Split Body and combine the Emboss with the Main Body with a Cut.

Edit:  It turns out to be a bit more complicated than I first thought.  Updated model is attached.
