Enhanced Colour Simulation
Toolpath Panelling or Tiling is the ability break up a large design to machine in multiple sections. This effectively allows you to machine work that's larger than the physical dimensions of your machine bed.
Tool Database
The Tool Database is Carveco's included library of tools and global tool data. The database is fully customizable and allows you to edit, duplicate and create your own tools or groups of frequently used tools for your projects.
Profile
The Profiling Toolpath allows you to essentially Cut-Out or cut around a specified vector. You can use the profile toolpath to machine inside, outside, or along the boundary of selected vector and is ideal for cutting out letters and shapes from a material block.
Creating Bridges
Bridges or tabs, are small areas of material designed to hold your work in place while performing cut-out operations on a profiling toolpath. Carveco allows you to automatically add bridges or lets you manually control the number, placement, length and thickness of any bridges you wish to add. You can also edit the bridges you...
Leads – Lead In & Lead Out Moves
Leads (or Lead In/Lead Out moves) are toolpath operations where the tool plunges into the material outside of the shape you wish to cut. This allows you keep any unwanted artefacts such as tear out, chipping or burning, positioned in your waste material and away from your final piece.
Ramping
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.
Area Clearance
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...
Drilling
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.
V-Bit Carving
The V-Bit Carving Toolpath allows you create a faux 3D effect using the shape, or angled profile, of the V-Bit tool. It's most frequently used on lettering for signage and plaques.
