![]() Pet owners love them.īTW: the way to get simple color is tape off the surface, cut, then spray paint with the first color. The main use, as it turns out, for the CNC photos is putting pet photos on Corian for grave markers. ![]() Not a high priority, because I managed to snag a 40 watt laser two months ago and I’m having a blast burning things. ![]() I’m in the process of upgrading the motors, so it’s kinda tore apart at the moment. I’ll try to get something together and get it on the web where you can see it. My CNC is a home made gantry, with a 30″ by 19″ bed. A simple program I wrote a LONG time ago converts the dots to G code. The build he has here is cool, no doubt of that! Nice job! I was only commenting on making photos with a CNC. I guess I should have put something up before I commented. Posted in cnc hacks Tagged cnc, halftone, pictures Post navigation If you are interested in trying this at home using your own CNC machine, the DXF Halftone application is available on his site for free.Ĭontinue reading to see his halftone generating CNC in action. Thought the process does take some time to complete, the resulting images are well worth it. The CNC does the rest, using a v-shaped router bit to cut holes into his workpiece, generating a physical halftone picture from his digital image. ![]() The application exports the halftone image to a DXF file which can be fed into the CAD application that he uses to control his CNC machine. He developed a small application that takes an image (jpeg, gif, or png) and converts it to a set of pixels, which can then be tweaked and skewed to his liking. While you might imagine that he is simply using the CNC as an engraver, literally drawing images on the surface of his workpiece, what he is doing is far more interesting. One novel use he is particularly fond of is creating pictures with his machine ( Google Translation). , built himself a nice looking CNC machine and has been experimenting with some out of the box uses for his new tool. ![]()
