Description
DeskProto is a 3DCAM program that can be used to create 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling machines. It can import 2D vector (DXF), SVG, AI, EPS, EPS, AMS, AI), 3D geometric (STL, DXF), bitmap (any digital image), and calculate CNC toolpaths for the design. Finally, it can export a toolpath file to the machine you have selected - there is a long list of supported machines. DeskProto is available as a free, entry, expert, and multi-axis edition. Hobbyists can purchase a low-cost hobby licence for the last three.
Description
PhotoVCarve rapidly transforms photographs and images into precise toolpaths, compatible with nearly all CNC routing and engraving machines. It's an excellent choice for crafting 3D lithophanes from photographs, which serve as beautiful gifts, cherished keepsakes, and lasting mementos. The software produces grooves of varying widths and depths to capture the intricate details of the original image. The quality of the outcome heavily relies on a strong contrast between the surface material and the machined details. In darker regions of a photograph, PhotoVCarve creates wider grooves, while lighter sections are rendered with narrower ones. The toolpaths are calculated automatically based on the selected cutter, ensuring optimal results. Lithophanes, which are 3D impressions, appear somewhat flat and unremarkable under regular lighting; however, when illuminated from behind, they reveal breathtaking 3D images filled with depth and intricate detail, making them truly captivating. This combination of technology and artistry makes PhotoVCarve a valuable tool for creatives looking to bring photographs to life.
