Developer’s Description

Generate GCode from images for 3D carvings and lithopanes.
diyCAM: Carve is the first in a planned suite of easy to use and inexpensively priced CAM programs targeting DIY CNC Router users. Carve allows you to quickly convert a heightmap to G-Code for 3D Carvings and Lithopanes.

Features* Quickly and easily generates GCode from images for 3D Carvings and Lithopanes* NEW! Calculate Profile Path from Alpha Channel of an image to cutout your carving* 3D carving simulation/preview with both result and path visualization* Hog Pass to remove the bulk of the material followed by the detailed Carve pass for faster carvings* Bit and Material managers

When I built my CNC router, I found it somewhat annoying that nearly all the CAM software available cost hundreds of dollars. With diyCAM, my goal is to create a series of CAM programs that will allow anyone to easily and affordably generate G-Code to drive their CNC router.
