#### Summary: 

OpenSCAD (version 2015.03-2) is the open source software for creating solid 3D CAD models. It is available for Linux/UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X, and it is a programming Solid 3D CAD Modeller. In this tutorial I will show you how to create a name tag. Let's start...

#### Step 4
用Step3中的方块布尔减去Step1中的方块

#### OpenSCAD code:

```
translate([ 2 + 2, 2 + 2, 0 ]){
    linear_extrude( height = 6 ){
        text(
            text = "azcax", 
            font = "Phosphate:style=Inline", 
            size = 8, 
            spacing = 1
        );
    }  
}
function f(x) = 
    2*2 + 
    0.5*(8 - 2*2)*
    ( cos(1*x*360/(8-1)) + 1 );
difference(){
    for( i = [0:8-1] ){
        translate([ i*(40/8), 0, 0 ])
            cube([ 40/8, 15, f(i) ]);
    }
    translate([ 2, 2, 2-.1 ])
        cube([
            40 - 2*2,
            15 - 2*2,
            8
        ]);
 }
```
