Description
PhCNC LSSE is a native Windows CAM application focused on CNC production of prototype PCBs. It reads Gerber RS-274X, Excellon Drill, ODB++, DXF and Pick&Place manufacturing data and turns PCB geometry into practical machining operations. Users can prepare isolation milling and copper rubout, drilling and routing, board cutout, stencil milling, panelized projects and top/bottom processing with multiple tools. Generated G-code can be inspected and run through the integrated CNC simulator before export, helping verify machining operations before they reach the machine. The software is designed for electronics engineers, prototyping labs, makers and small manufacturers rather than general mechanical CAM work. Evaluation Mode has no time limit and supports project preparation and simulation; a EUR 75 perpetual license for one computer enables production-file export. PhCNC LSSE does not directly control CNC machines.
Description
PhotoVCarve rapidly transforms photographs and images into precise toolpaths, compatible with nearly all CNC routing and engraving machines. It's an excellent choice for crafting 3D lithophanes from photographs, which serve as beautiful gifts, cherished keepsakes, and lasting mementos. The software produces grooves of varying widths and depths to capture the intricate details of the original image. The quality of the outcome heavily relies on a strong contrast between the surface material and the machined details. In darker regions of a photograph, PhotoVCarve creates wider grooves, while lighter sections are rendered with narrower ones. The toolpaths are calculated automatically based on the selected cutter, ensuring optimal results. Lithophanes, which are 3D impressions, appear somewhat flat and unremarkable under regular lighting; however, when illuminated from behind, they reveal breathtaking 3D images filled with depth and intricate detail, making them truly captivating. This combination of technology and artistry makes PhotoVCarve a valuable tool for creatives looking to bring photographs to life.
