Create 3D reliefs from images


JPG to G-Code Converter

JPG to G-Code Converter

The engraving software is suitable for 3D milling or 3D engraving of color images, grayscale images and photos with .BMP and .JPG file

extensions. In this procedure, you lot create according to your wishes for the milling paths of a 3D relief. The CNC milling machine creates the desired 3D object from the data.

All photos, even colour photos, can be converted into 3D data

Use all available complimentary pictures from the internet or those taken with your own digital photographic camera or cell phone! Fifty-fifty subsequent 3D engraving of old images uploaded to the program you can chop-chop and easily implement.

With 3D PhotoFormer software, you can reach fantastic results in wood, plexiglass, contumely, plastic or engraving plastic. You can use colour photos or black and white photos.

Grayscale to a 3D relief

3D relief illuminated

It is effortless to create 3D reliefs from grayscale images. The software first converts your colour photograph into a grayscale paradigm. According to your

specifications for the relief's height, the respective milling depths are calculated from the greyscales. Thereby, the lighter parts of the image course shallow engraving depths and the darker areas form the deep engraving paths.

Create topographic 3D maps

This software is besides suitable for topographic 3D map relief, and already, many schools and museums employ it to create such 3D relief maps.

With real-fourth dimension 3D simulation

In the software, you lot can view the engraving results with 3D preview and under real-time indication from diverse viewing angles and simulate all milling processes in 3D.

Our 3D PhotoFormer software besides reads files in bitmap format. The colours or even grayscale from the image template are used to suit the depth. These results are then transferred to the workpiece by the Z-axis of the milling machine. Furthermore, shading and different photo layers are too displayed past implementing the corresponding milling depth or cutting depth. Besides, the 3D PhotoFormer software can also to implement diverse tool overlaps, depths and tool radii.

Huge tool library

An extensive tool library with nine predefined instance tools is available. It can be expanded by any number of additional tools, specifying all the cutter parameters. Y'all will achieve perfect results with your CNC router in no time.

The JPG to STL and G-Code converter

The G-code converter integrated with the software ensures a clean conversion of the bitmap data into a G-code milling path. Output as .STL is also possible. Here, postal service-processing options such as smoothing etc. are feasible in all other programs. Yous can also use the plan for lithophanes.

Create lithophany with the photoengraving software

It is just as easy to create lithophanes from whatever photo with the software.

Furthermore this software can easily be continued to our 3D Scankit.

In order to accomplish this, y'all process simple casts of the reproducing parts and x-ray them in a specially translucid mass, photo them thus making them reproducible by 3D PhotoFormer.

In improver to that this software is also able to produce background lighted lithophany pictures. These await very unimpressive in the beginning moment, however, they unveil their full beauty on a visible photo when it comes to background lightening.

Delivery includes clearing lawmaking via e-mail.
