Create your
text
.
Use
Extract font curve
and extract the outer boundaries of the text.
Use
Extract font curve
again and extract the islands.
Create a
spiral out 3D boss operation
for the floor surfaces using the outer boundary curves as the boundaries.
Set the curve allowance to the tool radius.
Create another spiral out 3D pocket operation for the floor surfaces using the island surfaces as the boundaries.
Again, set the curve allowance for this operation to the tool radius.
