Water Jet Text Font

Water Jet Text Font

Water Jet Text Font

(OP)
Hello All,
I was wondering if there is an acceptable FONT file that will allow various text characters to be cut out of a thick metal name plate that currently exists in NX6. If not are there any libraries that I may be able to download. Basically these letters need to have a bridge to contain the inner portion of the character like in the letters o, b, p, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

RE: Water Jet Text Font

I assume that you are using...

Insert -> Curve -> Text...

If so, then as Mark suggested, just select the 'Stencil' font.

An alternative would be the 'Bauhaus 93' font although technically not all of the characters meet your criteria, while 'Stencil' does meet it 100%.

>Thanks Mark and John for the input, I proposed using the Bauhaus93 font but as you stated John, It does not cover the letter O in that font, and I think the solution here will be to develop thier own Font, as a Reuse library with each character added to it. Thanks again for your input Mark and John

I think we have found an acceptable FONT for use,... It is called DIN "Schablonierschrift". This seems to work for all Letters and Numbers.  

RE: Water Jet Text Font

Is this a proprietary font or was it free to download?  Could you provide information about the site where you found this font?

RE: Water Jet Text Font

Thank You, it's a nice addition to my font collection.  Note however that it's only effective when using all uppercase letters, but I suspect that should not be a problem for what these letters would be used for.
