Relief Machining
V-Bit Carving
Fast, efficient toolpaths for V-carved designs are easy to create within Carveco® Maker. Preview your design within the simulation before machining, limit the tool depth and add a roughing tool to avoid tool wear on your expensive V-bits.
Drilling
Carveco® Maker includes inbuilt support for drilling toolpaths with options for Peck drilling denser materials to avoid clogging up your bits.
Machine 3D artwork with Spiral or Raster 3D machining strategies with the option to use a selected vector as a boundary.
Laser
Make allows you to create Laser toolpaths with adjustable controls for slices and angles.
Inlay
Create perfectly inlaid parts with easily adjustable allowances (without needing to offset the vectors) and auto-calculated corner radius.
