Abstract
This paper describes programs for 3-dimensional engraving. The programs use raster or vector images to create a 3D model and, subsequently, convert this model into a sequence of control commands for 3D engraving machines. Three programs have been developed. A program for engraving general 3D surfaces from grey-scale images, a program for preparing these grey-scale images from patterns and vector images, and a program for fast 2D engraving. A simple and fast preparation of the 3D model, a user-friendly environment, and small hardware requirements were the principal goals.
