Cnc single line font8/10/2023 ![]() I can also use MoI's Edit Frame and "Flatten" the geometry. Engrave allows me to set a depth at the spline level. In this file, I left the dxf line segments in as other colored styles, for reference (The dxf comes out as line segments, so I rebuild them into smoother splines. I run it through a system to create a dxf out of the gcode toolpath, then bring that dxf into MoI: Here is what it looks like from a top view:Īnd here in a 3d view: (Note the depth is all over the place) So I started by taking the text you posted then vcarving it. I'll try to explain here, as a video may be too involved. Now you can run your engrave at the desired depth on your imported centerline This will give you the vcarve toolpath as centerline geometry. (I don't know vectric well enough to know whether a centerline engrave path can also be 3d (z values), to have a variable depth to the engrave.īut anyway, an easy way to achieve the centerline path, without modeling it, can be to generate a vcarve as is now, then you can run the gcode through something like gcode2dxf. This can be an engrave with your vbit at a set, controlled depth. ![]() The other option mentioned is a stick font, or a centerline path on your letters. ![]() That is a variable depth controlled by how far the 20° bit can drop into the pocket of the font at any given point.įor this, we need to adjust the actual geometry of the font/letters and then determine what you want to call "depth". You have a picture of "this is the effect i am after"
