Carving tips
- Hardwoods with fine grain (teak, walnut, maple) keep small details best.
- Rough with a flat end mill, then finish with a small ball-nose bit and a fine stepover.
- Choose the relief height to match your board thickness and the smallest bit you will use.
From photo to file
In the 3D editor you type the width in mm; the height follows the photo's proportions, so nothing is stretched. Then you choose the relief height (Z) and the base thickness, and download. Download it as STL or OBJ (all plans), as a Vectric Aspire 3D Clip (all plans) or as a native ArtCAM / Carveco .RLF relief (CNC Pro and Premium).
