Lithophanes obtain their shading by having different thicknesses of translucent material to perform shading, and then are back lit.įree, stand-alone, Windows based application for producing Lithophanes and 3D Reliefs.

- command line tool under the MIT license to use a TrueType font to create the G-code to cut a given text w/ user-specified parameters.

DeskEngrave - converts text set in TrueType fonts, saves as DXF or G-code.

Note that CamBam has an old version which is freely available as noted on the Commercial Software page. Program to design 3D objects and generate the G-code for them.

Made for Windows but runs on Linux with Wine. Not capable of true 3D, better suited for steel, G-code needs post-processing. Ī CAD/CAM application for Windows or Linux that can help you produce NC code.
