name engraving on a ring

[Anonymous]

I am making a ring that is roughly 19 mm inside diameter and about 10 mm wide. it will be a flat surface. 

Have have a VF fourth axis machine to use for the manufacturing of it. 

My problem is that i want to engrave a name on the outside surface of the ring but i have little experience with using HSM works to generate tool paths. 

i created the model in solid works and then used the text and wrap option to put the text on the ring. 

Now I just need some help on how to properly machine the engraving into the ring. I attached a screenshot of the model, but i would like to know how to make it work in all text situations so that i can change styles and whatnot. 

Any help is much appreciated!

thanks Matt

You can try this method, because you need a 3D operation with toolpath wrapping and keep in mind, with a ball mill its fast, with a chamfer mill and a small tip it can calulate for (10s of) minutes
