General Materials
This may be due to uneven thickness in the material itself, with the engraving starting point set at the thickest part. As a result, some areas may not be engraved. It is recommended to set the starting point at the thinnest part of the engraving material. Additionally, a tool bit breaking during engraving could also lead to incomplete results.
Before engraving, it's advisable to perform a preview of the toolpath in the CAM software. This allows you to troubleshoot and verify tool parameters by examining the simulated preview results. Ensuring correct tool settings is essential for achieving consistent and accurate engraving results.
IMCNC currently does not offer sample trials for engraving.
mini CNC Module
Yes, engraving bitmap images on wood typically involves using grayscale images designed for relief carving. The grayscale levels in these images are optimized for creating realistic effects in wood relief carving. For general photographs, it’s advisable to perform image editing before engraving to achieve the best results.
Recommended tools for cutting acrylic include the 4025A020 and 4050A020 bits. Optimal cutting speeds and spindle speeds may vary depending on specifica project requirements.
The principle of engraving is that the darker the grayscale level, the deeper the engraving, while the lighter the grayscale level, the shallower the engraving. For acrylic photos, the grayscale is reflected by the transparency level. Using the negative image function can help achieve a more realistic engraving effect resembling a photograph.
No, BravoProdigy CNC equipment is not suitable for machining steel materials. However, it can be used with the vibration pen module to draw patterns.
