PhotoVCarve
Vectric
PhotoVCarve instantly converts photographs and images into high-quality toolpaths that can be run on virtually all CNC routing and engraving machines. PhotoVCarve is also perfect for machining 3D lithophanes directly from photographs, which make perfect gifts, keepsakes, and mementos that will last for generations. PhotoVCarve creates lines of grooves that vary in width and depth to represent the detail in a photograph or image. The quality of the finished result is very dependent upon a high level of contrast between the material surface and the machined grooves. PhotoVCarve machines dark areas in a photograph with wide grooves and the lighter areas with narrower ones. It automatically calculates the toolpaths based on the cutter selected. Lithophanes are 3D photographs that, when viewed in normal lighting, look a little dull and lifeless, but when back-lit, transform into stunning 3D pictures with depth and detail.Starting Price: $6.21 per month -
