I am trying to Curve text onto this model

Member Posts: 4 ✭

So this is a golf tee that I imported into onshape. As you can see it has so many edges and vertices (side note, Is it possible to clean the model up so you dont click on the lines and vertices all the time when trying to select the part?). My goal is to put a name on the side of this tee. I want it to be extruded out from the side not indented in as that would be bad for the strength of the tee i feel. How do I put the test on the side so it matches the curvature of the tee... Unlike how you see below

Thanks in advanced

Hello Brandon. You haven't include a link to your document so I'm not able to test this approach. Might you be able to split the part where the cylinder meets the head and recreate that body? Not sue if you could boolean it back. - Scotty

Looks like you have a plain STL file; the proper way to clean it up is to remodel the entire thing in parametric CAD.
Easiest approach to get the text: make a cylinder with a diameter slightly less than that of the tee, use the Wrap feature to put the text onto that, then boolean it into the tee.0 -
Just a thought with a partial rebuild using wrap.

Split works but neither adding to the head in extrude nor boolean a cylinder back to the head works. - Scotty
