Title: Cutting / Engraving only the Fill ?
Post by: Billy De on September 22, 2017, 12:39:45 PM
Yet Another Question...Is there a way to cut only the "Fill" of Text or The Fill of a BMP, Tiff File etc...Not The Oultine ?

So Far So Good On my Other 2 Questions

The F-Engrave’s V-Carve or B-Carve toolpath can also be used with a straight bit (see Scorch’s pdf’s) and this will cut the ‘fill’.

Alternately, CAD/CAM software, such as Vectric (http://www.vectric.com/), generally includes ‘pocket’ toolpath creation which will also do the same job.
