A tutorial on 3D Rotary design for machining on a rotary axis using Carveco Maker Plus. By employing the extrude tool to dynamically manipulate vectors, you can craft distinctive shapes and profiles. Enhance your designs by incorporating multiple 3D relief models and imported textures.
The Fade Relief tool allows you to dynamically fade the Z height of a relief across linear, radial fades and controlling a fade between boundaries.
The Envelope Distortion tool in Carveco Maker Plus lets you distort the shape of vectors or 3D artwork. With Carveco's easy 'live modelling' features, you can make different natural effects by using nodes, vectors, and bezier curves to define the shape you want.
The resolution of your model determines the fidelity of any 3D work within Carveco; or in other words, the amount of fine detail that's preserved in your 3D work. When working in 3D there are many factors to consider, including the capabilities of your PC, the size of the physical part your making and the...
In this video we run through how to import and convert images into 3D Relief Models and 3D Textures.
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.
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.
The Scale Relief tool within Carveco allows you to increase or decrease the Z-height of 3D Relief artwork either freeform (using the red drag handle) or to a specified Z-height. Further controls let you preserve any detail even at very shallow heights - perfect for low-relief applications such as coin making or engraving.
The Invert Relief tool allows you to quickly invert a 3D Relief model so that the model sinks into the material, to effectively create a mold of your 3D design. You can also mirror your design to produce matching top and bottom halves when machining a model.
