    For something like that, it would be much simpler to just draw a 2D .dxf, with the inside and outside profiles, and use any 2.5D CAM program.

    Hello Gerry,

    thank you for your information.
    so does i need to make each of the layer profiles and combine it with 2.5D CAM program?
    what is the name of 2.5D CAM which recommended and name of the function in the program for making the combination?

    sorry if i'm much asking since i'm still newbie in this field.

    thank you very much in advance.

    Regards,

    Paulus
