Football Brass Coin

This case includes an official tutorial video for your reference, replication and co-creation.

This Paul the Octopus football-themed embossed brass commemorative coin serves as a classic double-sided positioning processing case for the Z1 desktop 3-axis CNC engraving machine. A tribute to the legendary football forecaster Paul the Octopus, it integrates three iconic elements—marine motifs, football events and championship trophies—into three-dimensional embossed artwork. It can be used as tournament collectibles, decorative ornaments for football fans, corporate award gifts for sports events, and cultural creative commemorative badges. Adopting precision CNC milling technology, it flawlessly reproduces the highly textured details of vintage embossing. We hope this work can inspire you to explore more creative applications, and you are also welcome to join us for project co-creation.

Below is the description of the project processing procedures. You may download the NC toolpath files for this project, then complete the machining by following the video tutorial and the procedure instructions below:

Process 1: Integrated 3-Axis Machining on the Front Side and Machining Plan for Positioning Holes

Following the video instructions, install the high backstop first, then mount a standard aluminum block sized 100×100×5mm. After securing the aluminum block, fix a brass plate of the same dimension (100×100×5mm) onto it. Upload and select the NC program: 1_F3.175T4B2T2B1T3.nc. Start the machining task and wait for the machine to finish this process. Check if the locating pins can be smoothly inserted into the positioning holes before removing the brass plate, and keep the aluminum block fixed as much as possible. Proceed to Process 2 after verification.

Process 2: Integrated 3-Axis Machining and Cutting Process on the Reverse Side

Upload and select the NC program: 2_F3.175T4B2T2B1T3.nc. Follow the video tutorial to position the brass plate with locating pins, then flip the brass plate left-right for machining. Launch the machining task and wait until the equipment completes all machining operations of this process.
