Ramping is a toolpath option that allows you to gradually lower the tool into your material. This helps minimize the load on a tool at the start of a toolpath and can also help prevent any unwanted artefacts such as chipping, tearing or burning.
In this video we run through how to import and convert images into 3D Relief Models and 3D Textures.
In this tutorial, we take you through how to machine your relief, whilst giving yourself the perfect boundary to your design. If you're having trouble with the borders of your design, whether your machine isn't smoothing out your edges or if your machine is carving out the wrong parts, then this newest addition to our...
The Area Clearance Toolpath is designed to create a pocket or a recess in your material. It's also the best way to remove large amounts of material and therefore perfect for surfacing material such as a spoil/waste board. Like all Carveco Toolpaths, you have further controls over how the Area Clearance toolpath operates including Raster...
The Smooth Relief tool allow you to clean up 'noisy' (rough) relief artwork or sections of relief artwork. You can choose to smooth the whole model, an area within a vector or under a selected colour; all while controlling the strength of the smoothing process.
Guidelines are a useful aid when designing with vectors. In this video we'll explore how to easily add guidelines in the 2D view, set specific distances for guidelines, lock them in place and delete unwanted guidelines.
A different method to create grooves in your design is by using a Fluting Toolpath that allows you finer controls over the entry and exit of your tool into the material. A great option for adding stylish accents to simple vector lines on your design.
The Drilling toolpath is specifically designed to help with drilling holes in your model. The size of the drill hole is determined by the diameter of the cutting tool that is used during the machining process.
Carveco allows you to use closed vectors to trim sections of 3D relief artwork, by either Zero'ing inside or outside of your selected vector.
